How can stakeholders use EHRs, APIs, and patient-facing technology to reduce diagnostic and medication errors and improve patient safety?
Health IT has become an integral part of the care continuum, offering the promise of optimal, standardized care delivery. However, poor development and implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) can contribute to adverse patient safety events, including diagnostic and medication errors.
ECRI Institute has consistently cited poorly designed health IT systems as a major cause of medication management and diagnostic issues, which can lead to care gaps, unnecessary procedures, and patient harm.
