A new blog by AHRQ Director Robert Otto Valdez, Ph.D., M.H.S.A., highlights Agency investments in diagnostic safety and efforts to reduce fragmentation in our healthcare system. During Patient Safety Awareness Week, Dr. Valdez notes that too often a lack of communication between clinicians and patients and poor coordination within clinical teams can compromise patient care. This fragmentation, heightened by misaligned financial and regulatory incentives, has contributed to the lackluster performance of our healthcare system. AHRQ has issued two Notices of Funding Opportunity to advance diagnostic safety in primary care and continues to support the work of the Agency's Diagnostic Safety Centers of Excellence. | |  |
