Diagnostic safety events are common and pervasive across all healthcare settings, contributing to preventable harm in one in 20 outpatient visits and up to 250,000 inpatient stays each year. Healthcare organizations and clinicians need actionable, practical, and flexible resources to support #diagnosticsafety improvement efforts. #AHRQ recently developed several resources to help prevent #diagnostic safety events. Now, the AHRQ-funded Implementing Diagnostic Excellence Across Systems (IDEAS) project is recruiting healthcare organizations to use and evaluate these resources. If you or your organization is interested in improving #diagnosticsafety with added support and training, visit https://lnkd.in/eA9TYFY6. Please share with health care systems, hospitals, small- and large-group practices, and physician or clinician training programs.
