Participation in EHR based simulation improves recognition of patient safety issues.

Stephenson LS, Gorsuch A, Hersh WR, Mohan V, Gold JA. BMC Med Educ. 2014;14:224.

In this educational study, medical residents missed patient safety issues in a simulated review of the electronic health record. Repeated simulations resulted in improved but suboptimal performance. These findings support the widespread concern that problems with electronic health record usability lead to patient safety events.
