The Diagnostic Error in Medicine Medicine

We are pleased to announce the 4th international conference on DIAGNOSTIC ERROR IN MEDICINE – 2011 to be held in association with the annual meeting of the Society for Medical Decision Making. We hope to build on the past successful meetings by continuing the discussion of diagnostic errors and expanding the constituency of advocates dedicated to addressing this key problem.

The ultimate goal of this conference is to improve patient safety by reducing the likelihood of diagnostic error in medicine. Minimizing diagnostic error is an essential component of safe patient care, and towards this end the conference activities are organized to summarize the current state of the field, review active research, and consider emerging educational and research themes that should be implemented to minimize diagnostic error.
