title: Diagnosis errors are a system problem, not just doctor's fault.
abstract: The Institute of Medicine has issued a report calling on the medical community to more effectively address diagnostic errors. Reducing these errors will require a collaborative approach. Diagnostic errors are not typically caused by only a physician's error. Radiologists and pathologists should be more involved with diagnoses. Risk managers should treat diagnostic errors as a system problem.
