Sažetak
Diagnostic error is one of the most important safety problems in health care today, and inflicts the most harm. The National Academy of Medicine defined diagnostic error as the failure to establish an accurate and timely explanation of the patient’s health problem or communicate that explanation to the patient. These are diagnoses that are delayed, wrong, or missed altogether. Diagnostic error stems from the complexity of the diagnostic process, complexities in how health care is delivered, and the same kinds of cognitive errors that we all make in our clinical practise. The most serious error in differential diagnosis is an error in diagnostics of malignant lesions, either not at the right time or failed. It is likely that most of us will experience at least one diagnostic error in our lifetimes, sometimes with devastating consequences. Therefore, it is important to reduce them to a minimum through regular training, learning and teamwork of clinicians of different specialties.
