Opportunity From:
Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine
Opportunity Description:
Given the magnitude of diagnostic error burden, SIDM advocates for increased attention by health systems to improve the quality of their diagnostic processes. This goes beyond avoiding errors and includes consideration of accuracy, timeliness, cost, and patient convenience. Designing optimal diagnostic processes will require careful balancing among these competing demands. Given the dearth of solutions, we believe catalyzing a "bottom-up" approach, whereby frontline health professionals and patients are engaged in quality improvement to develop and test plausible solutions, will most likely produce the best outcomes.
SIDM is seeking proposals for grants to carry out 12-month diagnostic quality and safety improvement projects. The deadline has been extended until April 8, 2022.
