This project compared the risk of orders placed on the wrong electronic patient record when providers were limited to having one patient record open at a time versus up to four and found no difference in errors between the two.

This research showed that automated measurement of electronic order errors can be readily integrated into electronic health records to study the epidemiology of order errors and to test the effectiveness of proposed system improvements on order error outcomes.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of displaying patient photos and alerts in the electronic health record for preventing wrong-patient order errors, finding rigorous evidence that these interventions significantly decrease such errors.
