Schools can brand the app and upload medical cases to the platform. 12. Complementary professional clinician app (MayaPro) and patient app (MayaMD) In 2015, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) published “Improving Diagnosis in Health Care” revealing diagnostic error will occur at least once in the lifetime of every American, affect 5% of all adults seeking out patient care each year, be associated with 10% of all patient deaths, cause 6 to 17% of all adverse events in hospitals, andi be the leading reason of paid medical malpractice claims. Some authorities would go further to suggest that diagnostic error represented the third leading cause of death in America (behind cardiovascular disease and cancer) with estimates ranging from 250,000 to 400,000 premature deaths occurring annually. Reinforcing this message, the ECRI Institute identified diagnostic error as their top patient safety priority in 2018. Without appropriate diagnosis, patients are at substantial risk of harm. The optimization of two core diagnostic performance metrics (accuracy and efficiency) will redefine the meaning of ‘quality health care’ in the 21st century.
