Summary

Diagnostic errors are a significant healthcare concern, but difficult to assess due to the need for time-intensive chart reviews. This Swiss study examines an automated tool for detecting emergency medicine diagnostic diagnostic errors by searching for diagnostic discrepancies using emergency department discharge letters, hospital discharge letters, and general practitioner notes. The tool reveals high accuracy that could help prioritize cases for further review.
