As part of the project, researchers from the Center for Patient Safety Research and the Quantros Patient Safety Center will investigate about 200,000 records from MEDMARX, a web-based solution that collects anonymous reports of medication error, where CPOE was listed as a contributing factor in the medication error. Investigators will also test vulnerability of leading CPOE systems.
“The overriding goal is to better understand CPOE the technology that has been proven to improve medication safety and evaluate potential problems to make sure that we identify and uproot those problems in the best possible ways,” Gordon Schiff, MD, principal investigator of the project, said in the release. “The overarching goal is to learn from the experiences of people out on the front lines who are using CPOE systems as to some of the potential problems so their efforts in reporting, which is a very important part of our patient safety infrastructure.”
