The report from the committee, of which I was a member, concluded that virtually every adult American has been a victim of at least one diagnostic error, often with serious clinical consequences. Studies that followed the publication of the report estimated the number of deaths from diagnostic error in the United States to be on the order of 60,000 individuals per year.
