Summary
Improving diagnosis in children requires pediatric-specific priorities, yet consensus has been lacking. This study reports on the work of a multidisciplinary panel (of family partners, researchers and safety experts) to identify key research and operational priorities, including high-risk pediatric conditions and care scenarios, stronger feedback mechanisms, and reporting of missed diagnostic opportunities.
