Meaningful use of health information technology and declines in in-hospital adverse drug events.
Hospital adoption of electronic health records with Meaningful Use (MU) capabilities expected to improve medication safety has grown rapidly. This study has found that MU capabilities and interoperability were associated with lower occurrence of adverse drug events (ADEs), but the effects did not vary by experience with MU. About one-fifth of the decline in ADEs from 2010 to 2013 was attributable to MU capabilities.
