The effects of electronic prescribing by community-based providers on ambulatory medication safety.
This study was conducted to assess the effect of implementing a commercial electronic health record with e-prescribing on rates and types of prescribing errors. Use of e-prescribing resulted in relatively low error rates (6.0 errors per 100 prescriptions). These rates were sustained over time but without further improvement (6.0 versus 4.5 errors per 100) prescriptions).
AHRQ-funded; HS016970.
