Rethinking electronic health records to better achieve quality and safety goals

Article Abstract:

Introduction of information technology needs to be approached as an iterative process of care improvement instead of a one-time insertion of an information system into established practice. Information technology supports a family of technological methodologies, each with unique mechanisms of action, benefits and side effects, thus a staged method to turning direct access by patients to their health information into more effective care is presented.

Idiosyncratic toxicity: A convergence of risk factors

Article Abstract:

Studies reveal that idiosyncratic toxicities are normally not observed until a drug has been on the market and has gained broad exposure. It is observed that idiosyncratic toxicity can happen when a convergence of risk factors, including drug exposure, tips the risk-benefit balance away from benefit and toward risk.
