Risks to patient safety associated with implementation of electronic applications for medication management in ambulatory care - a systematic review

摘要

BackgroundThe objective was to find evidence to substantiate assertions that electronic applications for medication management in ambulatory care (electronic prescribing, clinical decision support (CDSS), electronic health record, and computer generated paper prescriptions), while intended to reduce prescribing errors, can themselves result in errors that might harm patients or increase risks to patient safety.
