NASEM Workshop Proceedings in Brief: Advancing Diagnostic Excellence for Older Adults
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has released a workshop proceedings brief, "Advancing Diagnostic Excellence for Older Adults."
NASEM conducted a series of five one-day workshops to examine the current scientific landscape and research opportunities for improving diagnosis within the U.S. health care system. Each workshop focused on a different priority category of disease associated with a disproportionate share of diagnostic error and patient harm.
The fifth hybrid workshop in the series took place on July 21, 2022. The workshop highlighted unique challenges faced in achieving diagnostic excellence for older adults, opportunities and obstacles to improving diagnosis, and strategies and interventions to promote diagnostic excellence across the care continuum. NASEM has released the Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief which highlights the presentations and discussions that took place at this workshop.
This workshop series was supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation with additional support for the fifth workshop from The John A. Hartford Foundation.
