Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: In response to demographic changes, increasing rates of chronic disease and demand for primary health care services, since the early 2000's Australia has increased the number and roles of general practice nurses (GPNs). There is a scarcity of evidence establishing whether the increased availability and use of nursing care in general practice has resulted in improved patient outcomes. Two key quality outcomes - patient satisfaction and enablement - have been examined extensively as outcomes of general practitioner care; however an evidence gap exists regarding these outcomes in relation to GPN care. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between general practice and GPN consultation characteristics, and patient satisfaction and enablement. METHODS: A concurrent mixed methods study was conducted. The quantitative component consisted of a cross-sectional study of 678 patients (response rate = 41%) receiving GPN care in 21 general practices in the Australian Capital Territory. Patient Enablement and Satisfaction Surveys were distributed to these patients between September 2013 and March 2014. Multilevel mixed effect models were used to analyse these data. The qualitative component took a grounded theory approach to in-depth interviews with GPNs (n=16), patients (n=23) and practice managers (n=9) from these same general practices. Data generation and analysis were conducted concurrently using constant comparative analysis and theoretical sampling. After the separate quantitative and qualitative analyses, findings were integrated. This involved quantification of selected qualitative variables for inclusion in multilevel analyses and a secondary integration of findings. FINDINGS: The results of this study provided evidence of: a significant association between patient satisfaction and Nursing scope of practice and autonomy, Continuity of GPN care, Patients making appointments to see a particular GPN, Consultation type and Duration of consultation; a significant association between patient enablement and Nursing scope of practice and autonomy, Consultation type and Duration of consultation; behaviours that characterise 'the just right nurse'; an interconnection between patient satisfaction and enablement. This evidence is presented in the form of a theoretical model called, developing a positive patient experience with nurses in general practice: an integrated model of patient satisfaction and enablement. This process-based model includes general practice and GPN consultation characteristics underpinning actions and interactions that support the triggering of health care partnerships between patients and GPNs, and tailoring care to meet each patient's unique needs. The effectiveness of this model is contingent on the general practice context in which it operates. Examination of characteristics that support broad scopes of nursing practice coupled with high levels of autonomy facilitated an understanding of 'enabling' and 'less-enabling' general practices. CONCLUSION: This integrated model of patient satisfaction and enablement is a practical tool to inform education and training for GPNs and other clinicians, particularly in relation to the management of patients with chronic and long-term conditions. This evidence provides impetus to deepen our insight into general practice models of care that facilitate enhanced nursing scope of practice and autonomy, continuity of care and adequate time for nursing consultations. Integral to patient-centred care, these interprofessional models are the key to optimising GPN roles and the associated quality patient outcomes.
