Diagnostic Error in Medicine (DEM) Annual Conference is dedicated specifically to diagnostic error in medicine, co-sponsored by the Society for Medical Decision Making. The ultimate goal of this conference is to improve patient safety by reducing the likelihood of diagnostic error in medicine. Minimizing diagnostic error is an essential component of safe patient care, and towards this end the conference activities are organized to summarize the current state of the field, to review active research, and to consider emerging ideas on the education and research agenda that should be implemented to reduce diagnostic error.
