The Basics Of Healthcare - Part 2, What Is A Diagnostic Error?

Episode notes

This is part 2 of a 2-part series that I am doing to educate, empower, and inform you as the patient. As I stated in Part 1, this may be boring. But knowing this foundational information is instrumental in saving your life. In this episode, I will focus on diagnostic errors. They are on the rise at an alarming rate. BMJ Quality and Safety reported that an estimated 795,000 Americans will die or are permanently disabled by diagnostic error each year. It is a healthcare crisis that no one is talking about, but you should be aware.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Website - ⁠⁠ YouTube - ⁠ YouTube Channel⁠ Instagram - ⁠⁠ @hughes.advocacy⁠⁠ LinkedIn - ⁠⁠Hughes Advocacy⁠⁠ Facebook - ⁠⁠Hughes Advocacy⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Leapfrog group - Leapfrog Group SIDM - What is a Diagnostic Error BMJ report - Report Highlights Public Health Impact of Serious Harms From Diagnostic Error in U.S. Improving Diagnosis in Care - Improving Diagnosis U.S. national academy of medicine - Improving Diagnosis in Healthcare I hope you enjoyed this episode and will continue returning to a place where your voice always matters!
