Understanding Diagnostic Error – Let’s Make Patient Safety a Priority!

Did you know that diagnostic error is defined as the failure to establish a correct and timely explanation of a patient’s health problem? This can include delayed, incorrect, or missed diagnoses, as well as failure to communicate the diagnosis to the patient.

Key Facts from Our Insights:
• 63% of diagnostic failures stem from patient assessment issues, such as the failure to establish a differential diagnosis, delays in ordering diagnostic tests, or inadequate assessments that miss critical signs like abnormal vital signs.
• 23% are linked to patient factors, including non-compliance with follow-up appointments or treatment regimens.
• 65% of ED diagnosis-related malpractice claims cite inadequate assessment, highlighting the need for thorough and timely evaluations.

World Patient Safety Day – September 17, 2024 emphasized the theme Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety. The data reminds us that errors can occur at any stage— from initial assessment to communication with providers. Poor professional relationships or failure to read medical records can further complicate the process, making clear communication and detailed documentation essential.

Sharing with you some insights from a rich learning session with the Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s mentors and fellows, organized by Dr. Peter Lachman, which brought together fellows from different cohorts for a rich learnning experience.

Key Takeaways from Dr. Anurhada Pichumani’s Presentation
1 Leadership Journey and Local Impact:
◦ Dr. Pichumani’s transition from clinician to a global leader at ISQua (International Society for Quality in Health Care) highlights the power of leadership in driving patient safety. Her emphasis on “every global movement begins with a local moment” resonates as a call to action for grassroots efforts, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). -burgo

2 Strategies for Low-Resource Settings:
◦ Her focus on achieving significant outcomes in low-resource settings through good leadership, teamwork, local adaptation, standardization (e.g., accreditations), and data-driven improvement projects is particularly relevant for LMICs. This underscores the importance of contextualized metrics and capacity building, which are actionable even with limited technology or resources.

3 ISQua White Paper: Safe Care is the Right Care:
◦ The White Paper offers a practical framework for hospital-level patient safety improvements, adaptable to resource-constrained environments. The matrix you mentioned serves as a functional checklist to assess institutional strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, guiding future directions without requiring advanced technology.
Observations and Insights
• Practicality and Adaptability: The emphasis on hospital-level strategies that don’t rely on national-level interventions or high-end technology makes the ISQua framework highly applicable across diverse settings. This aligns with Dr. Pichumani’s message about leveraging local strengths and opportunities, as highlighted in the Global Patient Safety Report’s performance scores.
• Leadership and Teamwork: Dr. Pichumani’s leadership journey and the focus on team effort reflect a universal principle: sustainable change starts with committed individuals and collaborative systems, even in challenging environments.
• Actionable Tools: The matrix is a standout feature, offering a structured way to evaluate and prioritize patient safety initiatives. This tool seems particularly valuable for identifying gaps and setting measurable goals, which is critical for data-driven improvements.
