Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovating with Julia Adler-Milstein, Andrew Auerbach, and Gurpreet Dhaliwal
Department of Medicine Grand Rounds
-
The critical thinking required to diagnose a patient’s condition is fundamental to our work as internists. Yet if done poorly, diagnostic errors and inequities can deeply harm patients – in fact, studies have shown that several hundred thousand patients die or suffer major harm from diagnostic mistakes each year. In this Grand Rounds, we’ll have three expert faculty explore fundamental issues in diagnosis, each seen through their specialized lenses of research, informatics, and education. We will explore the measurement of diagnostic errors, the ability to harness AI to enhance diagnostic reasoning, and the future of diagnostic excellence. This year, our department became the home of a national Coordinating Center for Diagnostic Excellence (CoDEx), funded by a $15 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
