“The Certification/Adoption Workgroup met on March 29, 2010. Following up on the previousMarch 12, 2010 meeting and the February 25, 2010 meeting, the committee reviewed the revised set of recommendations to the ONC, and discussed concerns expressed about the potential for increased FDA regulation of EHR systems and possible ways that the ONC and FDA could possibly collaborate.
They considered a draft proposal today that outlined best practices for electronic reporting of patient safety hazards. The practices are expected to be included in the second phase of meaningful use starting in 2013. “Most unsafe conditions are not the result of a single software error. Instead, multiple factors are involved, including challenges with usability, processes, and interoperability,” says the draft proposal.”
