“Electronic health records increase physician likelihood of reporting adverse drug events to the FDA, according to a new study by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH).
Currently, physicians in the Unites States report less than one percent of adverse drug events to the FDA. In order to address this problem, BWH implemented an automated adverse drug event reporting functionality in EHRs in a proof-of-concept study, which was supported by a grant from Pfizer.”
