This commentary describes misprognosis as enacting inappropriate intervention for a correct diagnosis. In light of the current emphasis on diagnostic error, the authors emphasize the need for clinicians to consider patient physical and social contexts when selecting interventions after diagnosis. They call for research to explore how education, measurement, and system can be improved to reduce prognostic errors.
