'When Is It More Than Just Back Pain?', a question we explore in this week's article using a real clinical case example to highlight those areas in the diagnostic workup that are most susceptible to omitting that can lead to a failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis.

In this week's article, Dan Sullivan, MD, JD highlights the importance of #triage and how often times it can be an under-appreciated risk. "Everyone on the ED team and in hospital administration can get behind quality improvement in this critical area. Improvement starts with seconds-to-minutes presentations, and those gains improve operations throughout the triage process. We have partnered with d2i to automatically pull data from ED medical records to report on how often the seconds-to-minutes presentations are managed appropriately. The data—particularly post-COVID—coupled with a boarding crisis, is alarming!" https://lnkd.in/gDtNxDCm
