E-prescribing and adverse drug events: an observational study of the Medicare part D population with diabetes.
The researchers examined the impact of e-prescribing on emergency visits or hospitalizations for diabetes-related adverse drug events (ADEs) including hypoglycemia. They concluded that at the e-prescribing threshold of 75 percent and above, there were significant reductions in ADE risk.

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.
