Description

Diagnostic error is the leading cause of malpractice claims … with the highest proportion of pay-outs and even more alarming, more often resulting in death. Inaccurate diagnosis can be life threatening to patients and you need to know when a patient needs further intervention. Determining which diagnoses are time sensitive in primary care can often be challenging at the point of care. Dr. Diggins will review the top emergent conditions seen in primary care, including assessment, evaluation, and appropriate referral, so you don’t miss them!
