@jaketapper @UMich Thanks goodness Alice survived her encounter with diagnostic error. Jake has it right - there are too many of these! Dx error is a top 10 cause of death in the US. We're working to change that. CIDM - improve-dx.org

There are too many diagnostic errors!   The Tappers are proud to partner w/ the non-profit Community Improving Diagnosis in Medicine (improve-dx.org), Dr. Mahajan, & @UMich to transform the future of diagnosis, making medical care safer! medresearch.umich.edu/labs-departmen…

Good 1st day at #DEX24 thank u @UCSF_CoDEx @andrewolsonmd & team for giving us an opportunity to meet in person! @MarkGraber - quarter of a century of your relentless dedicated championship is incredible! #diagnosticsafety Highlight of the day- kiss from Willie as meeting ended.

Very exciting news! I was awarded with a Vidi grant by @ZonMw & @NWONieuws. I’m looking forward to the next 5 years during which I'll work on improving the diagnostic process by studying the best strategies for physicians to collaborate with AI. @iMERR10 @ErasmusMC @ErasmusMCPH

Congratulations and thanks to Ben Rosner and the UCSF team for compiling all of these resources. Improving calibration would be a HUGE help in addressing diagnostic error, and GoodDx has all the tools and ideas you'd need to help make that happen.#improvedx;

@drsanjaygupta @jaketapper I'm so sorry to hear of Alice's ordeal from delayed diagnosis of her ruptured appendix. This shouldn't have happened. But it does - diagnostic errors are responsible for hundreds of deaths every day in the US. Learn more at improvediagnosis.org. @ImproveDX

My colleague and friend @jaketapper underwent a horrifying ordeal with his daughter Alice. A medical misdiagnosis. He asked me to tell their story as a cautionary tale — one that happens 7 million times a year

One area with clear progress where diagnosis is improving: derm diseases in skin of color - thanks to Dr Aliya Courtney Hines for reviewing this field at the 2022 SIDM conference. ⁦@ImproveDX⁩

Congratulations to Dr Dhara Amin - the inaugural recipient of SIDM’s Emerging Leader (Rising Star) Award, and Dan Berg, inaugural recipient of the 2022 Award for Patient and Family Engagement”. ⁦⁦@ImproveDX⁩

Wonderful new tools from AHRQ to improve diagnosis in a project coordinated by ⁦@HardeepSinghMD⁩ and Chris Goeschel - MeasureDx, CalibrateDx, Team STEPPS for diagnosis, new patient tools and a series of issue briefs. ⁦@ImproveDX⁩

SIDM’s conference theme this year is ‘The Future of Medicine”. One highlight are presentations from med students on their thoughts on this. Here is Andrew Boeing’s project - reflecting on our digital future. ⁦@ImproveDX⁩

Senator Amy Klobuchar addressing our SIDM Diagnostic Error Conference & telling her story of her almost-delayed diagnosis of breast cancer: She put off getting her mammogram because of COVID. Don’t put off screening tests!

SIDM Conference opening session focuses on disparities in health care, a critical issue for us in our work to improve diagnosis. Oprah’s film highlights the problems and the opportunities to address the problem.

So glad to see our SIDM conference on diagnostic error back ‘in person’! Here’s Hardeep Singh presenting at our “Introduction to Dx Error” session.

Recognizing Excellence in Diagnosis - a new report by @LeapfrogGroup with 29 recommended practices hospitals can implement to improve diagnostic safety. Next step-national pilot to survey hospitals on their implementation status in fall 2022. Join us! leapfroggroup.org/recognizing-ex…

@HardeepSinghMD @LeapfrogGroup @leahbinder @JMatthewAustin @ImproveDX @MooreFound @AHRQNews This is BIG! Aside from a few pioneering HCO’s, most of the 5000 others have yet to address diagnostic error. The new Leapfrog recommended practices give them a place to start, AND the incentive (thx to benchmarking) to get going!

@HardeepSinghMD @NatQualityForum @TJCommission @VAHouston @IQuEStHouston @VAResearch @bcmhouston @BCMDeptMedicine @AHRQNews @ONC_HealthIT @VeteransHealth Hardeep’s work will pave the way for giant steps towards improving diagnostic quality and safety.

Advancing Dr. Eisenberg's legacy is an incredible honor of a lifetime. And esp. for an immigrant who aspired to impact U.S. healthcare. So many to thank for unwavering support and trust. Award dedicated to patients we serve. #grateful #patientsafety jointcommission.org/-/media/tjc/do…

@DivvyKant @plepner @HardeepSinghMD @rltrowb @KCosbyMD @DNewmanToker @KathyMcDonald @DxEthx @ImproveDX Happy Bifthday SIDM. Wonderful to see the organization’s growth over the 1st 10 years.

Thanks to Kelly Gleason for highlighting why involving NURSES in diagnosis is so important. We need their input! tinyurl.com/kecvetzb
