On building an ontological knowledge base for managing patient safety events.
The authors developed a semantic web ontology based on the WHO International Classification for Patient Safety (ICPS) and AHRQ Common Formats for patient safety event reporting. The ontology holds potential in enhancing knowledge management and information retrieval, as well as providing flexible data entry and case analysis. They detailed their efforts in data acquisition, transformation, implementation and initial evaluation of the ontology.

Safer design - composable EHRs and mechanisms for safety.
In this paper, the author discussed how the different drag/drop interaction paradigm has implications for health IT safety via several mechanisms. These mechanisms included display fragmentation and the need to changeably prioritize information elements, interruptions, fit to tasks and contexts, and rapid changeability allowing low-cost readjustments when lack of fit is found.
