The Patient Safety Issue - Diagnositic Error

The Patient's Voice: Does It Matter?

What to expect in this episode:

In this episode, we'll discuss a serious topic I have previously podcasted: diagnostic errors. This issue is tremendous in our country, especially for rural patients and older adults. Diagnostic errors can lead to serious harm if conditions aren't treated correctly. By communicating clearly, keeping good records, and asking questions, you and your families can help reduce the risk of these errors.

And as always, I will answer the question, "What could you do to make your voice matter?"
