Advancing Diagnostic Safety Research: Results of a Systematic Research Priority Setting Exercise.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diagnostic errors are a major source of preventable harm but the science of reducing them remains underdeveloped.

Objective

To identify and prioritize research questions to advance the field of diagnostic safety in the next 5 years.

Participants

Ninety-seven researchers and 42 stakeholders were involved in the identification of the research priorities.

Design

We used systematic prioritization methods based on the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) methodology. We first invited a large international group of expert researchers in various disciplines to submit research questions while considering five prioritization criteria: (1) usefulness, (2) answerability, (3) effectiveness, (4) potential for translation, and (5) maximal potenti
