Title: Advancing Diagnostic Excellence Through Applied Clinical Informatics: Outcomes Feedback, Decision Support and Opportunity Surveillance

 Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on informatics to strengthen diagnostic performance and reduce preventable harm. This presentation highlights three complementary initiatives from UC San Diego that are designed to advance diagnostic excellence across the care continuum. First, Dr. El-Kareh will describe an informatics approach that provides clinicians with individualized feedback on post handoff patient outcomes to enhance diagnostic learning. Second, he will present point of care decision support tools that guide appropriate diagnostic testing and reduce unnecessary variation. Finally, he will introduce a piloted organizational surveillance system that identifies cases warranting diagnostic review through longitudinal analysis of diagnostic codes. I aim to provide practical insights into applying informatics to support diagnostic excellence.
