Identifying electronic health record usability and safety challenges in pediatric settings.
To understand specific usability issues and medication errors in the care of children, the investigators analyzed 9,000 patient safety reports, made in the period 2012-17, from three different health care institutions that were likely related to EHR use. They found: the general pattern of usability challenges and medication errors were the same across the three sites; the most common usability challenges were associated with system feedback and the visual display; and the most common medication error was improper dosing.
