Unintended errors with EHR-based result management: a case series.
Unintended errors with EHR-based result management: a case series. J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2010 Jan-Feb;17(1):104-7 Authors: Yackel TR, Embi PJ Test result management is an integral aspect of quality clinical care and a crucial part of the ambulatory medicine workflow. Correct and timely communication of results to a provider is the necessary first step in ambulatory result management and has been identified as a weakness in many paper-based systems. While electronic health records (EHRs) hold promise for improving the reliability of result management, the complexities involved make this a challenging task. Experience with test result management is reported, four new categories of result management errors identified are outlined, and solutions developed during a 2-year deployment of a commercial EHR are described. Recommendations for improving test result management with EHRs are then given. PMID: 20064810 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
