Title
The wrong diagnosis: identifying causes of potentially adverse events in general practice using incident monitoring.
Authors
Bhasale, A

Although recognized by both patients and practitioners as a highly undesirable outcome, little is known about the factors which contribute to wrong diagnoses. Data collected through a pilot study of incident monitoring in general practice in Australia were examined to identify possible types of diagnostic incidents and their likely causes.
