Summary

Receiving feedback from colleagues may improve clinicians’ diagnostic reasoning skills. By building on existing models such as Safer Dx, and collaborating with professionals outside of the healthcare field, researchers developed the Diagnosis Learning Cycle, a model intended to improve diagnosis through peer feedback. 

The PSNet collection materials were developed with funding under multiple contracts from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
