Significant patient harm can occur due to a delay in diagnosis of a condition leading to a poorer than necessary prognosis or clinical outcome.
The risk team have identified the following key tools from our resources to help you work through this common area of risk:
- Checklist: Referring patients. This practical checklist will help GPs and practice managers open up wider discussion within the practice team. Use it to review your current referral process and ensure it is as effective and safe as possible.
- Webinar: Avoiding missed or delayed diagnosis claims in primary care . This on-demand webinar is designed for GPs but should also be of interest to other clinicians and PMs in general practice.
