Erroneous and malpractice claim cases reflect knowledge gaps and complex contextual factors. Incorporating such cases into clinical reasoning education (CRE) may enhance learning and diagnostic skills. However, they may also elicit anxiety among learners, potentially impacting learning. As a result, the optimal utilization of such cases in CRE rema...

Objectives Time pressure and time constraints have been shown to affect diagnostic accuracy, but how they interact is not clear. The current study aims to investigate the effects of both perceived time pressure (sufficient vs. insufficient time) and actual time constraints (lenient vs. restricted time limit) with regard to diagnostic accuracy. Met...

Objectives To investigate longitudinal trends in the incidence, preventability, and causes of DAEs (diagnostic adverse events) between 2008 and 2019 and compare DAEs to other AE (adverse event) types. Methods This study investigated longitudinal trends of DAEs using combined data from four large Dutch AE record review studies. The original four AE...

Purpose Erroneous and malpractice claim cases reflect knowledge gaps and complex contextual factors. Incorporating such cases into clinical reasoning education (CRE) can enhance learning and diagnostic skills. However, they may also elicit anxiety among learners, potentially hindering learning. As a result, the optimal utilization of such cases in...

Introduction Although diagnostic errors have gained renewed focus within the patient safety domain, measuring them remains a challenge. They are often measured using methods that lack information on decision-making processes given by involved physicians (eg, record reviews). The current study analyses serious adverse event (SAE) reports from Dutch...

Background: Most people experience a diagnostic error at least once in their lifetime. Patients' experiences with their diagnosis could provide important insights when setting research priorities to reduce diagnostic error. Objective: Our objective was to engage patients in research agenda setting for improving diagnosis. Patient involvement:...

Background Preventable diagnostic errors are a large burden on healthcare. Cognitive reasoning tools, that is, tools that aim to improve clinical reasoning, are commonly suggested interventions. However, quantitative estimates of tool effectiveness have been aggregated over both workplace-oriented and educational-oriented tools, leaving the impact...

Introduction: Human error plays a vital role in diagnostic errors in the emergency department. A thorough analysis of these human errors, using information-rich reports of serious adverse events (SAEs), could help to better study and understand the causes of these errors and formulate more specific recommendations. Methods: We studied 23 SAE rep...

Deze infographic biedt een grafische weergave van het rapport 'Monitor Zorggerelateerde Schade 2019 in Nederlandse Ziekenhuizen', met o.a. de resultaten van de volgende onderzoeksvragen: 1. Wat is de aard, ernst & omvang van (potentieel vermijdbare) zorggerelateerde schade en sterfte? 2. Wat is de schade bij toepassing medische technologie? 3. Wat...

Background Diagnostic errors are a major source of preventable harm but the science of reducing them remains underdeveloped. Objective To identify and prioritize research questions to advance the field of diagnostic safety in the next 5 years. Participants Ninety-seven researchers and 42 stakeholders were involved in the identification of the res...
