What Are Diagnosis Errors?
A central part of a physician’s job is to ascertain the injury or medical condition of a patient who comes in seeking help with symptoms. Doctors are required to meet certain standards of care when it comes to assessing a patient, such as ordering the appropriate medical tests, communicating with specialists and getting to the bottom of what’s wrong without unreasonable delays.
Unfortunately, in reality, physicians are often inattentive, distracted, overworked, stressed, fatigued, underqualified, substandard or simply negligent. This means that a variety of diagnosis errors can occur, including harmful misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and failure to diagnose.
When a patient does not receive the correct diagnosis in a timely manner, this can have serious ramifications on his or her health and prognosis for the future. If a time-sensitive illness such as cancer is not diagnosed right away, for example, the dangerous delay could disqualify the patient from life-saving treatments.
