Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our objective is to determine the effects of electronic prescribing on medication safety including medication errors, near misses and preventable adverse drug events in the ambulatory setting. Study design will be a longitudinal evaluation of errors early after implementation and after sustained use.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will compare the effects of different vendor-based electronic prescribing systems on ambulatory medication safety in various settings, including rural and underserved areas and determine the effects of electronic prescribing systems on ambulatory medication safety over time.
