TY - JOUR T1 - Computerised medical record systems that guide and protect – reflections on the Bawa-Garba case JF - BMJ Health & Care Informatics SP - 57 LP - 59 DO - 10.14236/jhi.v25i1.1040 VL - 25 IS - 1 AU - Simon de Lusignan AU - Harshana Liyanage AU - Philip Scott Y1 - 2018/01/01 UR - http://informatics.bmj.com/content/25/1/57.abstract N2 - Lawrence Weed proposed we develop computerised, problem-oriented medical records that guide and teach. The Bawa-Garba case outcomes might have been different if care had been supported by computerised medical record (CMR) systems. CMR systems can reduce prescribing errors and could be developed to flag gaps in supervision. However, CMR systems are not a panacea and need to be fit for purpose. Our informatics perspective on this case is to call for widespread use of CMR systems – designed to guide and protect. ER -
