Saving Lives and Reducing Health Care Waste by Improving Diagnosis in Medicine Act

This bill establishes a comprehensive federal program to reduce medical errors and waste caused by misdiagnoses by funding research, developing new tools, and training healthcare professionals. It creates a new interagency council and research centers to study diagnostic failures, while also setting up a safe, voluntary reporting system for patients to share their experiences without fear of legal repercussions. The legislation authorizes funding over several years to support these initiatives, standardize medical data for better analysis, and ensure that patient perspectives are central to improving how diagnoses are made and managed across the healthcare system.
