Many diagnostic errors don’t happen in a single appointment. They build—especially when a patient:
- is routed from primary care to urgent care (or back again)
- has test results reviewed later by a different clinician or facility
- relies on follow-up instructions that get lost during travel or changing work schedules
- receives care while symptoms evolve from “concerning” to “urgent”
In that environment, an AI-assisted workflow (for example, clinical decision support, triage tools, imaging/radiology software, lab interpretation systems, or documentation systems) can still be part of the story—either by shaping what clinicians noticed, what was recommended, or what was recorded.
A lawyer’s job is to separate what you were told from what the records actually show—and then map those facts to the legal standard of care.
