Making health care safer: a critical analysis of patient safety practices.
TL;DR: This project aimed to collect and critically review the existing evidence on practices relevant to improving patient safety and identify practices with the strongest supporting evidence that decrease the risks associated with hospitalization, critical care, or surgery.
Effects of Computerized Physician Order Entry and Clinical Decision Support Systems on Medication Safety
