Another technique recently published by Hyman et al26 showed a 40% reduction in wrong-patient errors when a pictureof the patient was displayed at the time of final order.The analysisin the study was done on actual non-intercepted errors andshowed a numerical reduction,although the errors were selfreportedand the total number was small.Nonetheless,themethod is promising,and is likely to be more efficient thanmore interruptive safeguards.
For analysis of post-order safeguards,Carpenter and Gorman evaluated an algorithm which,after patient discharge,compared patient medication prescriptions to the patient’s medical record,identifying a 10% mismatch rate.22 In terms of medical impact,52% of the mismatches were identified as being clinically relevant.Approximately two-thirds of the mismatches concerned patients whose drug treatment did not have a corresponding medical problem documented in their medical record,and one-third were patients whose prescribed drug treatment of their medical problems was not appropriate.
