Interventions targeted at reducing diagnostic error: systematic review.
Dave N, Bui S, Morgan C, et al. Interventions targeted at reducing diagnostic error: systematic review. BMJ Qual Saf. 2022;31(4):297-307. doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2020-012704.
This systematic review provides an update to McDonald et al’s 2013 review of strategies to reduce diagnostic error. Technique (e.g., changes in equipment) and technology-based (e.g. trigger tools) interventions were the most studied intervention types. Future research on educational and personnel changes would be useful to determine the value of these types of interventions.
