Three Solutions

Issue: Good health care quality starts from getting a quicker diagnosis.

Solution1: Remove the pressure for doctors to use all applicable technology. They might do this to rule out every possibility before diagnosing, to avoid lawsuits, if a patient is hurt from a bad diagnosis.

Solution2:
Decrease paper work or give each doctor his own "clinical scribe." A clinical scribe would be legally responsible for doing a doctors paperwork for each patient and their diagnosis.

Solution3: According to, "Doctor Autonomy Linked to Medical Errors," integrate doctor autonomy with standardized guidelines because "To err is human," and we cannot rely a doctor to be on target every time.

Conclusion: These are my recommendations for improving a doctors ability to conclude a diagnosis, improving health care.
