UCSF Department of Medicine Grand Rounds
Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovating (April 25, 2024)
The critical thinking required to diagnose a patient’s condition is fundamental to our work as internists. Yet if done poorly, diagnostic errors and inequities can deeply harm patients – in fact, studies have shown that several hundred thousand patients die or suffer major harm from diagnostic mistakes each year. In this Grand Rounds, three expert faculty explored fundamental issues in diagnosis, each seen through their specialized lenses of research, informatics, and education. They explored the measurement of diagnostic errors, the ability to harness AI to enhance diagnostic reasoning, and the future of diagnostic excellence.
Featured Speakers: Julia Adler-Milstein, PhD; Andrew Auerbach, MD, MPH; and Gurpreet Dhaliwal, MD
