    AbstractCritically ill patients with undiagnosed and rare diseases are at high risk for cognitive diagnostic errors as well as delays in diagnosis that are the result of impaired diagnostic access. Local evaluation teams dedicated to undiagnosed and rare diseases can address both the risk and actuality of diagnostic error, as well as shortfalls in diagnostic access, particularly for patients whose diminished access is a result of critical illness. Features of successful teams are discussed.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
