Join us for highlights/summaries of Day 3 of the 8th International Diagnostic Error in Medicine Conference: After the IOM Report- What’s Next?
Interesting links relevant to Day 3 topics or presenters/moderators:
Robert Trowbridge, MD: Here are links to his comprehensive (and excellent!) new book entitled Teaching Clinical Reasoning through the ACP website or through Amazon.
Jonathan Pell, MD et al: though not presenters at the conference here’s a link to a recent JAMA article on open patient access to their medical notes in an inpatient setting.
Goldfish: here’s a TIME article on Nic’s favorite tidbit from the final day’s afternoon session on how the human attention span is now shorter than that of a goldfish, which somehow has become the gold standard for short attention spans!
