“There’s little question that electronic health records reduce adverse drug events and improve quality of care. But that doesn’t mean healthcare providers shouldn’t be doing all they can to make sure they’re as safe and as easy to use as possible, said National Coordinator for Health Information Technology David Blumenthal, MD.
Blumenthal made those comments at the launch of EHRevent.org, a new safety reporting system that will allow healthcare providers to report adverse issues related to the implementation and use of EHRs. EHRevent.org “is an important piece of the puzzle to make sure that happens,” he said.”
