This session explains why there is increased diagnostic risk in these groups of patients and what can be done to reduce these risks by using preprepared symptom-based, patient safety-focused consultation plans that cover the assessment and management of patients with specific symptoms, illnesses and medical conditions.
Learning objectives
- Understand why there is an increased risk of diagnostic uncertainty & accidents in consultations involving babies, children and older patients.
- Understand the common causes of diagnostic accidents in younger and older patients
- Introduction to the ABCDE’S & ABCDEF’S DEFGU Assessment Systems
- Introduction to assessment & management planning systems
Consultations in babies, children and older patients often result in diagnostic uncertainty and diagnostic accidents, many of which are preventable or have the potential to be managed more safely. The increased diagnostic risk that is present causes harm to patients and stress for GP’s.
