Although healthcare quality and patient safety have longstanding international attention, the target of reducing diagnostic errors has only recently gained prominence, even though numerous patients, families and professional caregivers have suffered from diagnostic mishaps for a long time. Similarly, patients have always been involved in their own care to some extent, but only recently have patients sought more opportunities for engagement and participation in healthcare improvements. This paper brings these two promising trends together, analysing strategies for patient involvement in reducing diagnostic errors in an individual's own care, in improving the healthcare delivery system's diagnostic safety, and in contributing to research and policy development on diagnosis-related issues.
尽管医疗质量和患者安全长期以来一直受到国际关注，但直到最近，降低诊断错误的目标才受到关注，尽管许多患者、家属和专业护理人员长期以来一直遭受诊断失误的困扰。同样，患者在某种程度上一直参与自己的护理，但直到最近，患者才寻求更多机会参与和参与医疗保健的改善。本文将这两个有前途的趋势结合在一起，分析了患者在减少个人护理中的诊断错误、提高医疗服务系统诊断安全性以及为与诊断相关问题的研究和政策制定做出贡献方面参与的策略。
