Actual (reported)Patient safety is at the forefront of critical issues in health care. Medications are the single most frequent cause of adverse events, and in the inpatient setting adverse drug events (ADEs) are common, expensive, injurious to patients, and often preventable. Relatively little, however, is known about the frequency of ADEs in the ambulatory setting, how to monitor for outpatient ADEs, or on the impact of prevention strategies such as computerization of prescribing supplemented by decision-support.

Actual (reported)Preventable Adverse drug events
Data were electronically collected each time a physician entered a prescription that triggered an alert related to medication safety.
8/5/2004 - 1/5/2005
Total adverse drug events, medication errors
1/15/2001 - 5/15/2001
In this intervention arm, clinicians received medication safety alerts when they prescribed medications in the electronic medical record.
In this arm, clinicians did not receive the medication safety alerts.
The intervention in this study is the presentation of medication safety alerts in the electronic medical record to improve patient outcomes and safety.
