The topic of this month's publication was chosen because of the prevalence of history, exam and workup problems as a contributing factor in NORCAL diagnostic error claims. This contributing factor prevalence is not unique to NORCAL policyholders. A recent study found that incomplete patient assessment was a contributing factor in half of the malpractice claims in its claims database.

| **CASE ONE** Family Health History **CASE TWO** History of Symptoms **SPECIAL FEATURE** The Argument for Refreshing Physical Examination Skills | **CASE THREE & FOUR** Documentation of History, Exam and Workup **CASE FIVE & SIX** Bias in History and Workup |
