Hi Everybody!
I'm doing a presentation on pitfalls of electronic medical records, and I am focusing on errors unique to computerized charting that nurses need to actively protect themselves from. I could really use examples of errors, or near errors, by nurses that were made specifically d/t computerized charting. I can use personal examples or if you post links to internet articles that would be great too. If you give a personal example, I would appreciate it if you could include the city/state or hospital that it happened in and it would also help to know what happened to the nurse. Some of my subjects are: charting under someone else's name, med errors, issues with drop down menus, inaccurate charting d/t lack of appropriate choices, CPOE... anything along that line. I want this presentation to shed light on EMR issues/dangers that we may not even be aware of, so that we can protect ourselves. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
