“…However, its absence leads to situations in which, despite the availability of technical and technological solutions, the implemented processes are ineffective and inefficient. Previous studies have shown that a poorly designed, incorrectly used, or inefficiently implemented IT system not only does not enhance patient safety, but contributes to an increase in the number of errors made through the phenomenon referred to as technology-induced errors [19].…”

According to estimated data, an average Polish hospital manages about 130 thousand pharmaceutical products. The main problem related to pharmacotherapy in hospitals is real-time access to up-to-date data, which determines the correct treatment process. This paper presents the results of research aimed at forecasting the outcome of implementing e-prescriptions in conjunction with barcode scanning on the time of response to a patient's needs for pharmacotherapy. The research was conducted in two hospitals by means of a business process analysis and the BPMN 2.0 standard. The analysis was concentrated on the drug administration process, taking into consideration the labour and service times of the process. Special attention was given to evaluating the possibilities of getting real-time access to information regarding the type, location and inventory level of pharmaceutical products. The research proved that implementing e-prescriptions in conjunction with barcode scanning could lead to reductions of the average working and service time.

“…Despite the proactive implementation of health IT around the globe, recent studies indicate that health IT can result in errors including selection of the wrong patient or administering the wrong drug or the wrong dosage. 3–6 These health IT–related errors can lead to patient harm, injury, disability, or even death. 4,7,8 Errors can emerge from interactions between people and elements of the technology, tasks, environment, and the organization in which they work.…”

The objective of this study is to identify factors influencing unsafe use of hospital information systems in Malaysian government hospitals. Semi-structured interviews with 31 medical doctors in three Malaysian government hospitals implementing total hospital information systems were conducted between March and May 2015. A thematic qualitative analysis was performed on the resultant data to deduce the relevant themes. A total of five themes emerged as the factors influencing unsafe use of a hospital information system: (1) knowledge, (2) system quality, (3) task stressor, (4) organization resources, and (5) teamwork. These qualitative findings highlight that factors influencing unsafe use of a hospital information system originate from multidimensional sociotechnical aspects. Unsafe use of a hospital information system could possibly lead to the incidence of errors and thus raises safety risks to the patients. Hence, multiple interventions (e.g. technology systems and teamwork) are required in shaping high-quality hospital information system use.

The implementation of health information technology (IT) is one of the strategy to improve patient safety due to medical errors. Nevertheless, inappropriate use of health IT may have serious consequences to the quality of care and patient safety. Most of the previous studies have been focused on the sociotechnical factors contributed to health IT related errors. Little focus has been given on the use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. In order to address this gap, this study investigates the use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. Systematic literature review was conducted to identify articles pertinent to safety of health IT. Science Direct, Medline, EMBASE, and CINAHL database were searched for reviews relevance articles. A total of 23 full articles were reviewed to extract use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. Workarounds, adhere to procedure, vigilant action, and copy and paste behavior were discerned as the significance use behavior that influence health IT safety adoption. This study may be of significance in providing useful information on how to safely practice health IT adoption.
