Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

Barriers to preventing ADE's

• Most organizations don't have EHR's
• ePrescribing doesn't solve the monitoring problem
• Many EHR's don't currently have the functionality to provide alerts for missing events without being in the context of a patient encounter
• MD compliance
• Time and money required to build interventions

Notes:

Epic has Asynchronous Alerts starting in Spring '07
