The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality debuted a new toolkit that focuses on mitigating diagnostic errors in pediatric primary care practice.
The toolkit, called "Reducing Diagnostic Errors in Primary Care Pediatrics Toolkit Link to Exit Disclaimer," offers pediatric primary care physicians a systematic approach to reducing diagnostic errors focusing on three major areas: elevated blood pressure, adolescent depression and actionable pediatric diagnostic tests.
The toolkit is based on clinical evidence, best practices as well as resources from a project involving 100-plus pediatric primary care physicians and their care teams.
AHRQ funded the project and the toolkit
