It is believed that diagnostic errors are the cause of between 40,000 and 80,000 patient deaths and injuries on an annual basis in the US alone [1]. Berner and Graber felt the rate of misdiagnosis could be as high as 15% for some specialties of medicine [2]. Previous studies have found that the rate of misdiagnosis in the outpatient setting is approximately 5.08%, indicating this could impact 12 million adults in the US alone [3]. And most at risk are physicians in a solo practice [4], whether this be related to workload, time constraints, or the inability to consult easily with fellow physicians [1]. In the hospital setting, it is estimated that between 5-18% of adverse events are related to misdiagnosis, and misdiagnosis contributes to approximately 50% of adverse events that lead to transfers to a higher level of care or death [5].
Peer.Live seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy & delays in care using the power of the crowd.
With the free Peer.Live app, you can submit your challenging cases to be reviewed by your local group of physicans or by a global crowd of doctors just like you. You simply create a new case, add relevant images or files, provide patient history, and set the duration for which the case stays open for the physician community to review.
Once submitted, every physician in either your local physicians group or the worldwide network recieves a new case notification on their mobile device. Available colleagues who are able to help with their expertise will then comment on your case and vote on the most likely diagnosis in real-time. As the results come in on the case, you will be able view them live, with the most voted-for diagnosis appearing at the top.
