This project proposes the development and deployment of a risk information tool/repository, similar to the “black box” methodology deployed in aviation that evaluates orders for risks associated with ordering and verification user activity to get a view of what safety checks were or were not in place at the clinician level to aid in system level safety-proofing efforts. This data monitoring/flagging tool would look at how users interact with the EHR when processing and entering medication orders to identify risky behavior/poor review of records versus quality behavior when placing and verifying these orders to allow for identification of errors as well as to allow for trends to be identified in systems.
