June 2016
10Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatricians noted a significant number of diagnostic errors, with 35% reporting such errors monthly and 33% indicating these errors led to adverse events at least annually.
- The most pressing areas for improvement included missed diagnoses of hypertension, delayed referrals, and follow-up on abnormal lab results.
- Electronic health records (EHRs) were seen as helpful by some pediatricians in reducing specific diagnostic errors, though about 36% felt their EHR did not aid in reducing these errors at all.
