Following the passage of the health reform law, one of the greatest challenges that will face the American health system and its providers will be the continuing struggle to improve patient safety in hospitals by the elimination of medical error.
In North America it is estimated that as many as 10% of patients admitted to hospital are subject to some form of medical error. Preventable medical errors have been estimated to cause as many as 200,000 deaths annually, with another 500,000 suffering some form of permanent injury. According to the Washington based Institute of Medicine a significant proportion of medical problems in hospital settings are medication errors, resulting in adverse drug events (ADEs), which can be averted by using electronic prescribing combined with decision support tools at point of care. Other problems associated with inadequate hospital procedures can be averted by the use of intelligent clinical information systems that provide streamlined automated work flow management tools.
Considerable progress in Patient Safety can be achieved by using new generation smart computer software providing facilities with functional electronic prescribing, computer physician order entry (CPOE) and clinical decision support. Studies in live North American hospital environments indicate that the application of CPOE technology can reduce these types of errors by more than 50% - and, in some cases, by up to 86%.
As health care costs rise faster than can be sustained by regional and national governments, Health Departments recognize that long term solution will not be possible without better health care information management, management that can best be addressed by the implementation of state-of-the-art integrative solutions such as those marketed by VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corporation. This site provides additional information on the problem of medical error, the use of CPOE technologies to reduce error, VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp, and the VisualMED family of healthcare solutions.
