Question

you enter a medication order in your hospital's ehr, and a warning screen pops up saying that your patient's medication dose should be adjusted based upon her last lab results. however, you know that the patient had a lab draw more recently — recorded at a different clinic and therefore not available in your ehr — that showed different values. when you attempt to move past the warning, the system will not allow you to proceed.

Answer 1

This illustrates how technology that dictates rather than facilitates your work can introduce unintended consequences.

What is EHR?

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patient's medical history that is maintained over time by the provider and may include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that person's care under a specific provider, such as demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, and so on.

EHRs (Electronic Health Records) are the first step toward transforming health care.

EHRs provide better health care by improving all aspects of patient care, such as safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, communication, education, timeliness, efficiency, and equity.

Thus, as the person is unable to move past the warning this implies that unintended consequences can occur when technology dictates rather than facilitates your work.
