Collective intelligence in diagnosis refers to the collaboration of multiple individuals to generate a more accurate diagnosis than could be made by a single clinician. This study examined the collective intelligence of diagnostic decision making in general practice and identified the conditions associated with the greatest increase in accuracy, as well as the benefit of a computerized decision support system (CDSS). Plurality substantially outperformed average individual accuracy and the most senior group member's accuracy.
