The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM) is a small nonprofit organization in the medical practices sector, based in Alpharetta, Georgia. It focuses on reducing diagnostic errors, which are described as a leading driver of malpractice claims and a source of preventable harm and deaths, by promoting research, education, and awareness among patients, clinicians, researchers, educators, insurers, and other healthcare professionals. The organization seeks to understand the nature, causes, and remedies for misdiagnosis with the aim of making diagnosis timely, accurate, reliable, efficient, and safe.

SIDM positions itself as a collaborative, stakeholder-driven effort within healthcare that serves a range of actors affected by diagnostic errors. In 2025, SIDM participated in ANR 2025, where Woven Health Collective unveiled an advocacy-led consensus to improve diagnosis and care experiences for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. The organization has previously engaged in partnerships such as a 2021 collaboration with The Leapfrog Group to recognize excellence in diagnosis.
