Partnering to Prevent Diagnostic Error: Librarians on the Inside Track
Wednesday, March 13, 2013, 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m., central time

 

Program Goal
The goal of this program is to raise awareness and encourage participation by medical librarians in diagnostic error (Dx) prevention and mitigation.

 

Program Objectives
  • Explain what Dx error is, that it's a subset of patient safety and an exceedingly critical problem
  • Outline several roles, including collaborative roles, for librarians in Dx error prevention from solo to larger medical libraries
  • Outline a range of activities for medical librarians to employ in their institutions to collaborate on Dx error awareness and reduction
  • Reinforce the unique position of frontline librarians in their institutions to participate and collaborate with clinicians addressing Dx
