Bad Health Informatics Can Kill

Bad Health Informatics Can Kill. I've emphasized this issue in a number of posts.

This link contains summaries of a number of reported incidents in healthcare where IT was the cause or a significant factor. It comes from the Working Group for Assessment of Health Information Systems of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI).

Any clinician involved in health IT projects, even as users, should be well-versed in these issues.
