Abstract
Diagnostic bias is when biased considerations along with inadequate individual thought patterns result in a misdiagnosis. It is a constant and challenging issue in all medical specialties. There is evidence that knowledge of diagnostic bias will enhance physicians' diagnostic abilities. This review finds that there are several effective strategies to reduce the risk of diagnostic bias. Cognitive models such as dual-process-theory and tools such as metacognition can help the clinician in their assessment of the patient.
