They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.

Additional informationThe workshops focus on strategies to reduce patient harm from diagnostic errors. Discussions emphasize initiatives to lower costs and redundancies in diagnostics while improving outcomes. The project is primarily funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, with additional funding from The John A. Hartford Foundation for some workshops in the series. Co-chairs and committee members from diverse backgrounds contribute to planning and executing these events. Additional URLs:
