The opportunity and the challenge… • An Australian research study on the effects of two commercial electronic prescribing systems on prescribing error rates in hospital in-patients identified that “there was a high rate of system-related errors for both hospitals accounting for 35% of prescribing errors in the intervention wards in the post period”. • In the UK, there are an average of 35 documented software safety incidents reported every month; while a large number resulted in no harm, without appropriate attention to root cause and action to prevent re-occurrences, patient safety could be compromised.

Question How many of you have experienced or are aware of an esafety incident in any project, implementation or deployment ?
eSafety Guidelines Essential Component of Protecting Patients
Is a method to confirm the development, deployment and use of an eHealth system will not pose an unacceptable level of safety risk to patients. • Is prospective and preventive • Is complimentary to PIA’s • Is built from leading practices (ISO 31000 standard on Risk Management, NHS England, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
* In addition to Health Care Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, other risk assessment tools (use case review, observations, checklists, critical analysis) may serve to supplement or combine specific steps in the detailed risk assessment, due to unavailability of documentation, limited resources or time constraints. The identification of potential safety failures (WHAT COULD GO WRONG) is key, regardless of methodology used to arrive at that identification.
