I am a KP employee and have been watching your saga. I, and all of my colleagues, think your efforts are incredibly courageous and admirable.

If KP had any decency, they would look at the ridiculous costs they have incurred trying to cover up what you’ve brought to light. Every penny they spend on hiding the truth is a diversion from patient care and operating a sound business, and that’s wrong.

Please keep this posting public.

I have been concerned for you because you have not posted…glad you are still spearheading this national crusade to protect the safety of all patients and KP…front page coverage may be the accelerant needed to start turning the tide.

To all who support Justen and his heroic efforts: you must notify the FDA at FDA.gov of any and all situations of patient injury, unexpected death, and medical care errors in hospitals that use the CPOE hub for managing patient care or have the EHR.

Any adverse patient matter pertaining to misclicks, duplicate medications, wrong doses, delays, wrong tests, complications related to system failure, backup dysfunctions, patient neglect, etc. should be reported. Hospital administrators love to charge this up to human error to protect their investment and (flawed) decisions to buy into CPOE and EHR, but these devices potentiate mistakes via their user unfriendliness.

Justen and this cause needs everyone’s help. Let’s roll.
