Classification of Electronic Health Record–Related Patient Safety Incidents: Development and Validation Study

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study presents a new classification for EHR-related patient safety incidents applicable to mature EHRs. The number of EHR-related patient safety incidents during the implementation period may reflect patient safety challenges during the implementation of a new type of high-maturity EHR system. The results indicate that the types of errors previously identified in the literature change with the EHR development cycle.
