If and when these Medical IT and CPOE devices are finally tested for patient safety and efficacy, the dangers to patients generated by them will be shocking to all. Never has there been such a radical change in medical care not subject to the rigors of scientific scrutiny. How did this happen?

To Justen’s readers, at KP and elsewhere, please continue to report Medical IT and CPOE device related patient safety breaches to your state health departments, JCAH, and the FDA. Your efforts will be helpful to all patients. These devices seem to be like Vioxx and Avandia and the true magnitude of their dangers must be determined and understood.
