Advocate Excellence – Do No Harm (When Not Listening Leads to the Wrong Diagnosis)

  • 1.  Advocate Excellence – Do No Harm (When Not Listening Leads to the Wrong Diagnosis)

    Posted 11-28-2018 18:12
    Organization (Website) Origin: Medscape Commentary (http://www.medscape.com)

    In a message less than 2 minutes long, an important and powerful commentary is delivered about how patient experience and patient-physician interactions affect the risk for diagnostic error.

    Also available through Medscape is the article: 'Ignoring Patient Input Tied to Diagnostic Error'

    Even though these are directly related to patient-provider interactions, laboratorians should apply the same lessons learned any time we interact with patients, families, providers and other healthcare professionals… without listening we could possibly be the root cause of a diagnostic error!
