Overconfidence as a cause of diagnostic error in medicine.
Eta S. Berner,Mark L. Graber +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that physicians in general underappreciate the likelihood that their diagnoses are wrong and that this tendency to overconfidence is related to both intrinsic and systemically reinforced factors.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data
J. R. Landis,Gary G. Koch +1 more
TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

Role of computerized physician order entry systems in facilitating medication errors.
Ross Koppel,Joshua P. Metlay,Abigail Cohen,Brian Abaluck,A. Russell Localio,Stephen E. Kimmel,Brian L. Strom +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that a leading CPOE system often facilitated medication error risks, with many reported to occur frequently, and multiple qualitative and survey methods identified and quantified error risks not previously considered.

Amit X. Garg,Neill K. J. Adhikari,Heather McDonald,M. Patricia Rosas-Arellano,Philip J. Devereaux,Joseph Beyene,Justina Sam,R. Brian Haynes +7 more
TL;DR: Improvement in practitioner performance was associated with CDSSs that automatically prompted users compared with requiring users to activate the system and studies in which the authors were not the developers, as well as other factors.
