Hidden In Plain Sight: Exposing the Drivers of Diagnostic Error

This white paper explores diagnostic challenges in emergency, ambulatory, and hospital settings. In this paper, we investigate:

  • How often diagnostic errors are occurring, and in which settings, based on data from closed malpractice claims.
  • Why EDs are particularly vulnerable to diagnostic error.
  • Where errors typically occur, and which diagnoses are most likely to be missed.
  • Details about how diagnostic errors occur in infection, vascular, and orthopedic cases – the top three categories revealed by Coverys data.
  • Recommendations to help reduce diagnostic errors in your ED.
  • A self-assessment to help identify systems and educational opportunities.
