We measured the prevalence (or rate) of patient-note mismatches (clinical notes judged to pertain to another patient) in the electronic medical record. The rate ranged from 0.5% (95% CI 0.2% to 1.7%) before a pop-up window intervention to 0.3% (95% CI 0.1% to 1.1%) after the intervention. Clinicians discovered patient-note mismatches in 0.05-0.03% of notes, or about 10% of actual mismatches. The reduction in rates after the intervention was statistically significant. Therefore, while the patient-note mismatch rate is low compared to published rates of other documentation errors, it can be further reduced by the design of the user interface.
我们测量了电子病历中患者记录不匹配(被判断为涉及其他患者的临床记录)的发生率(或比率)。在弹出窗口干预之前,该比率范围为 0.5%(95%CI 0.2%至 1.7%),干预后降至 0.3%(95%CI 0.1%至 1.1%)。临床医生在 0.05%至 0.03%的记录中发现了患者记录不匹配,或者说大约发现了实际不匹配的 10%。干预后比率的下降具有统计学意义。因此,虽然与已发表的其他文档错误率相比,患者记录不匹配率较低,但通过用户界面的设计可以进一步降低该比率。
