Health Information Systems (HIS) can cause errors, harming patients. This study found that strong leadership, communication, and reporting systems are key to safe medication use with HIS.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Safety
  • Socio-technical Systems Analysis

Background:

  • Socio-technical issues within Health Information Systems (HIS) present significant risks for patient safety, potentially leading to medication errors.
  • Understanding these complex interactions is crucial for improving healthcare delivery and preventing adverse events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of Health Information Systems (HIS) on safe medication use in a Japanese hospital setting.
  • To identify effective strategies for mitigating risks associated with HIS in medication management.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving direct observation of hospital workflows.
  • Data collection included semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals and thorough document analysis.
