Focused ethnography: a new tool to study diagnostic errors?
Abstract: While much attention has been given to quantifying errors in diagnosis, how best to study the process of diagnosis is less clear. Focused ethnography as a methodology is particularly valuable for studying healthcare processes because it examines specific questions, situations or problems among a smaller group of individuals. In this paper, we review this approach and illustrate how we applied it to study diagnostic errors in hospitalized patients.
