Diagnostic Error 

Healthcare facilities have at their disposal many strategies that could potentially reduce the diagnostic error rate. Implementing interventions that establish strong and reliable feedback loops between and among physicians regarding diagnostic accuracy is a key step in the error-reduction process.
