TY - JOUR T1 - WHere do diagnostic adverse events come from? AU - Lader E Y1 - 2011/01/24 N1 - 10.1001/archinternmed.2010.504 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 180 EP - 181 VL - 171 IS - 2 N2 - We live in a setting where we increasingly see medicine practiced by protocol. That is not to say that compiling best-practice guidelines or evidence-based algorithms are bad, but what it encourages is a lack of “creative thinking” when seeing patients and more of a “cookbook approach.” Couple this with the increasing pressures to see more patients in a shorter period, to get patients out of the hospital faster, and to enforce a conformity of therapy in the name of “comparative effectiveness,” and we see DAEs because practitioners just are not encouraged to think creatively.
