The Problem
-
5% of U.S. adults seeking outpatient care experience a diagnostic error
-
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death costing USD 20 billion annually.
-
Clinical decision-making is at the core of medical errors, and deficiencies in continuing medical education and lack of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have been identified as some of the significant root causes of medical errors.
-
Despite information overload created by the high frequency of medical research publications, busy schedules and strained workloads of healthcare professionals limit their learning to the bare minimum requirements of medical accreditation.
-
80% of doctors are unable to utilize numerical data in their practice due to a poor understanding of statistics in research articles.
-
All of these contribute to the ‘Information-Knowledge gap’.
