Most people will experience at least one wrong medical diagnosis in their lifetime, resulting in health problems, psychological suffering and financial cost, according to a new report. Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect(回顾), researchers said more work needs to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can change people’s life in the distant future.

“Diagnosis is a collective effort that often involves a team of health care professionals---from primary care physicians to nurses.” said John Ball, chair of the committee which wrote the report. “The type of a single physician observing a patient case and deciding a diagnosis is not always accurate, and a diagnostic errors, we have to look more broadly at the entire process of how a diagnosis is made.”

The researcher, said there are not enough data on diagnostic errors, and efforts to improve diagnosis and reduce errors have not been frequent. The medical culture discourages transparency and makes it more difficult to correct them. The blame lies in cooperation and communication between members of medical teams treating patients, patients themselves, and their families. Besides this, researchers found the healthcare system is not designed for the collaboration needed in the diagnostic process and that diagnosis will continue to worsen if new ideas are not put forward.

The committee recommended more information, from electronic health records to test results, be made more easily available to families and caregivers, to help them better learn and understand what is going on with their health. Creating an environment for patients to question a diagnosis or add information about their condition could also help better influence diagnosis.

Most significantly, the researchers said methods need to be established to make communication between doctors and patients easier. Doctors are not encouraged or paid to communicate with patients as much as they should be.

1.It can be inferred from the new report that .

A. diagnostic errors have a great influence on people

B. new ways are found to avoid diagnostic errors

C. nobody can avoid those diagnostic errors

D. diagnostic errors are difficult to be found

2.Why does the medical culture make the correction of diagnostic errors so difficult?

A. For lack of advanced technological equipment

B. For lack of strict rules of managing the medial environment

C. For lack of enough professional knowledge about medicinal treatment

D. For lack of cooperation and communication between physicians, patients and their families

3.What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A. Researches on the diagnostic process

B. New ways to better protect patients

C. Advice on reducing diagnostic errors

D. Communication between patients and doctors

4.Why is communication between doctors and patients not much?

A. Because of the different belief

B. Because of the medical situation

C. Because of being short of money

D. Because of the current rules

5.The passage most probably comes from .
