New Framework Developed by Researches to Help Understand and Prevent Misdiagnosis
A new framework “Patient-Reported Diagnostic Breakdowns” was developed by a team led by Sigall Bell, MD, the Director of Patient Safety and Discovery for OpenNotes at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. The team worked with data from two large national surveys conducted in 2017 and also included a project advisory group comprised of both patient safety professionals and patients and families. The authors suggest ways organizations can use the framework organized under four themes: Understand, Listen, Ask, and Learn. The framework was also used to develop an online tool called “OurDx” which strives to engage patients and families in the diagnostic process.
