- UCSF and CMSS Award $100,000 Grant to CAP to Improve Communication of Test Results with Diagnostic Uncertainty
The University of California, San Franscisco (UCSF) in partnership with the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), and funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, have awarded the CAP and six other specialty societies grants of $100,000 each to advance mechanisms for providing feedback about diagnostic decision-making to frontline clinicians on their performance in clinical registries. In 2022, CMSS and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation awarded a $100,000 grant to the CAP that focused on understanding patients’ experience with their pathology report. In October 2023, CMSS and the foundation awarded the CAP another $100,000 grant to address the challenge of redesigning a pathology report that effectively communicates pathology test results to patients and all members of the care team. This new grant will focus on improving communication of test results by providing feedback on the circumstances of diagnostic uncertainty and how it is communicated.
