Abstract

The article discusses the issues concerning diagnostic and communication errors which continue to occur in hospitals despite existing law, accreditation requirements, and the increasing use of electronic medical records (EMRs) in the U.S. According to the author, some physicians miss life-threatening test results, while others miss critical, but non-emergent test results, such as positive cancer screenings.
