Effects of quality improvement strategies for type 2 diabetes on glycemic control: A meta-regression analysis

Article Abstract:

The impact of eleven distinct strategies for quality improvement (QI) on glycemic control was assessed in adults with type 2 diabetes. Most QI strategies produced small to modest improvements in glycemic control, while team changes and case management showed more robust improvements, especially for interventions in which case managers could adjust medication independently without awaiting physician approval.

Changes in rates of autopsy-detected diagnostic errors over time: a systematic review

Article Abstract:

The number of major diagnostic errors detected by an autopsy has decreased since the 1960s, according to researchers who analyzed 45 studies published between 1966 and 2002. Nevertheless, the rate of major diagnostic errors revealed by an autopsy in 2002 ranges from 8% to 24%. This means that in 8% to 24% of all deaths, doctors were never able to diagnose the patient?s fatal illness before the patient died.
