Some of the country’s biggest names in healthcare are joining forces to improve diagnostics.
More than 40 groups have signed on to the Coalition to Improve Diagnosis to participate in ACT for Better Diagnosis. The project, which is spearheaded by the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM), aims to promote better education and best practices that reduce patient harm.
Paul Epner, CEO and co-founder of SIDM, told FierceHealthcare in an interview that diagnostic errors are one of the leading causes of patient harm and a problem that hospitals of all sizes need to address.
