Accurate diagnosis is an essential component of managing critically ill emergency department (ED) patients. Electronic diagnosis generators (EDGs) are software tools which assist clinicians in their diagnosis generation; however, they have not been evaluated for use for critical ED patients. We aimed to evaluate the use of an EDG for this populatio...

Advances in health sciences education : theory and practice
Diagnostic errors are a major, largely preventable, patient safety concern. Error interventions cannot feasibly be implemented for every patient that is seen. To identify cases at high risk of error, clinicians should have a good calibration between their perceived and actual accuracy. This experiment studied the impact of feedback on medical inter...

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an accurate, minimally invasive, and cost-effective biopsy method for enlarged lymph nodes. While the role of lymph node FNAC in the diagnosis of infectious or reactive conditions and metastatic malignancy is unquestioned, differing views still exist on its role in the diagnosis of lymphoma. Nev...

Systematic reviews
Diagnostic errors are a major problem in healthcare. In 2015, the report "Improving Diagnosis in Health Care" by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) stated that it is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime. The report suggests implementing diagnostic management teams...

Cognitive bias refers to human thinking patterns, as well as pitfalls, that are reproducible. Importantly, cognitive bias is not intentionally discriminatory and is necessary to properly interpret the world around us, including microscopic slides. Thus, it is a useful exercise to examine cognitive bias in pathology, as exemplified in dermatopatholo...

This report portrays a case of a funnel shaped anterior communicating artery (ACoA) fenestration which was mistaken as a small A1 aneurysm in a subarachnoid hemorrhage case. Although tridimensional rotational digital subtraction angiography improves aneurysm diagnosis specially at the ACoA complex, current spatial resolution might leave behind a co...

A clinical diagnostic support system (CDSS) can support medical students and physicians in providing evidence-based care. In this study, we investigate diagnostic accuracy based on the history of present illness between groups of medical students using a CDSS, Google, and neither (control). Further, the degree of diagnostic accuracy of medical stud...

The Surgical Patient Safety System (SURPASS) has been proven to improve patient outcomes. However, few studies have evaluated the details of litigation and its prevention in terms of systemic and diagnostic errors as potentially preventable problems. The present study explored factors associated with accepted claims (surgeon-loss). We retrospective...

Background Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on accurate and timely diagnosis. Diagnosis is a complex, error-prone process. Prevention of errors involves understanding the cause of errors. This study investigated diagnostic discordance between admission and discharge in pediatric cases. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the electr...
