Collaboration between clinicians encourages better diagnostic decision making and clinical outcomes. This study sought to determine if collaboration improves diagnostic accuracy, assessing by collaborative group size (3 or 6 physicians) and process type (interactive or retrospective). Groups had better diagnostic accuracy than individuals, regardless of group size. Process types were equally effective.
