Computer-based simulation to reduce EHR-related chemotherapy ordering errors.
Wyatt KD, Freedman EB, Arteaga GM, et al. Computer‐based simulation to reduce EHR‐related chemotherapy ordering errors. Cancer Med. 2020;9(23):8844-8851. doi:10.1002/cam4.3496.
Chemotherapy medications often have complex dosing which can lead to prescribing errors. This article describes the use of simulation-based training to improve pediatric hematology/oncology providers’ ability to identify and mitigate common chemotherapy ordering errors. The authors suggest that simulation-based training can serve as an alternative to systems-based electronic health record (EHR) improvements.
