Allergy entry and deletion in the electronic health record.
The researchers aimed to assess drug allergy entry, deletion, and accumulation, to identify health care professional types recording allergy data, and to assess the reaction types that lead to allergy entry and deletion. They found that of all allergies, 38.2 percent were immune mediated and 29.6 percent included only adverse effect reactions. Unavailable or unknown reactions comprised 32.2 percent of all allergies entered or deleted.

An analysis of patient safety incident reports associated with electronic health record interoperability.
The study’s objectives were to (1) identify patient safety incident reports that reflect EHR interoperability challenges with other health IT, and (2) perform a detailed analysis of these reports. It found that the majority of EHR interoperability patient safety event (PSE) reports involved interfacing with pharmacy systems (i.e. medication related), followed by laboratory, and radiology. Most of the interoperability challenges in these clinical areas were associated with the EHR receiving information from other health IT systems.
