Erreurs médicamenteuses induites par l’informatisation de la prescription à l’hôpital : recueil et analyse sur une période de 4ans

Prescription errors related to the use of computerized provider order-entry system for pediatric patients

“…Modification of the prescription unit has also been reported to be one of the CPOE errors [10]. In our study, we noted 30 cases of inappropriate modification prescription unit which could lead to potential errors of administrations.…”

“…Various studies have highlighted the risk of CPOE to produce errors that may be lifethreatening for patients [2,14,15,16]. Thus, each healthcare center using a CPOE system must be aware of this situation [8,10,17,18,19,20]. Our study focused only on errors that were encountered when using CPOE to manage pediatric patients.…”

“…Moreover, it has been noted that these errors can occur at any stage within the therapy management, including prescribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring [8]. The reasons behind such errors are in part due to various technical reasons such as confusing software, a screen overload as well as human-related issues such as lack of experience and training, cognitive overload or depersonalization between healthcare actors, as face to face communication is replaced by computer accessibility [10,11]. During the last decade, errors resulting from recently implemented CPOE systems have been reported in many worldwide studies, including France [10,11,12,13].…”

The impact of computerized physician order entry on prescription orders: A quasi-experimental study in Iran

“…In addition, Slight et al found that CPOE systems often failed to detect and prevent important medication errors ( 22 ). A study conducted by Hellot-Guersing et al revealed that CPOE was related to 2.65 errors per 100 orders in hospitals and that configuration issues, misuse, and design problems were the 3 causes identified in this regard ( 23 ). In Schift’s study, 0.06% of the medication errors were reported to be CPOE- related.…”
