Comparison of a prototype for indications-based prescribing with 2 commercial prescribing systems.

Garabedian PM, Wright A, Newbury I, et al. JAMA Netw Open. 2019;2:e191514.

This simulation study compared computerized medication order entry between two commercial electronic health records and a prototype designed for safe prescribing. Physicians using the prototype had fewer errors compared to either commercial platform, highlighting the need to improve electronic health record usability in order to enhance medication safety.
