Nina Shabbat Although the government is investing billions of dollars to encourage health care providers to use electronic health record systems, whether ongoing use of these electronic systems improves patient care and safety in the ambulatory setting over time has remained an open question.   To address this issue, we have been tracking prescription errors by physicians in an adult ambulatory clinic before and after the switch from an older to a newer electronic health record system. We reviewed a total of 1905 prescriptions from over 900 patients 2 years after implementation of the newer system with robust decision support to aid in prescribing. At two years, rates of prescribing errors were very low (3.8%) and were significantly lower than rates one year prior and earlier. Our work shows that  safety benefits take time to accrue and that making improvement to the system based on user feedback is key to maximizing safety benefits.  To read more, click here.
