O’Connor P, O’malley R, Oglesby A-M, et al. Int J Health Care Qual. 2021;33:mzab013.
Patient safety problems can be challenging to detect. This systematic review identified a variety of methods for measuring and monitoring patient safety in prehospital care settings (e.g., emergency medical services, air medical transport). They include surveys, patient record reviews, incident reporting systems, interviews, and checklists.
Lambe KA, Hevey D, Kelly BD. Front Psychol. 2018;9:2297.
This randomized educational experiment found that medical students in their final years of training did not perform better on diagnosing standardized cases when given a guided reflection method compared to simply using their first impression. This study emphasizes the challenge in developing tools for clinicians to enhance diagnostic cognition.
Lambe KA, O'Reilly G, Kelly BD, et al. BMJ Qual Saf. 2016;25:808-820.
This systematic review explored interventions to augment diagnostic reasoning among physicians. Cognitive forcing and guided reflection were two strategies that consistently improved cognition. This finding suggests that these methods should be more widely implemented to enhance timely and accurate diagnosis.
