AB Since  its  inception,  the  patient  safety  movement  has  emphasized  medication  errors,  handoff  errors,  communication  and  teamwork  errors,  healthcare-associated  infections,  and  surgical  errors;  all  of  these  areas  are  amenable  to  technological  (e.g.,  computerized  order  entry),  procedural  (e.g.,  double  checks),  and  policy  (e.g.,  “sign-your-site”)  solutions.  Until  recently,  diagnostic  errors  have  been  less  well  emphasized,  in  part  because  they  are  more  difficult  to  measure  and  to  fix.
