MedStar Research on EHR Safety Prominently Cited in Fortune Magazine
Over the past year, I’ve been
able to write several times about the work that teams from MedStar Health are
conducting into the usage of EHRs. From the initial research on the safety of
the systems, to the collaborative conversation around
implementation, to the pediatric perspective and the website & letter to congress,
the MedStar Health’s National Center for Human
Factors in Healthcare has been invested in the safety of patients.
Raj Ratwani, PhD, center director and
scientific director of the MedStar Human Factors Center, has distinguished
himself as a leading researcher of EHR safety and usability. He was one of the
over 100 physicians, patients, IT experts and administrators, health policy
leaders, attorneys, top government officials and representatives from EHR
vendors who Fortune spoke with for their long-form piece, Death by a Thousand Clicks:
Where Electronic Health Records Went Wrong.
Thank you, Raj &
team, for your commitment to this important research!
