The rise in the use of electronic health records (EHRs) and associated resources over the last decade is leading to the end of the paper medical record and all the risks associated with the use of a paper chart. However, there has not been a concomitant creation of a systematic oversight body that is specifically charged with ensuring the public's safety through the use of EHR knowledge resource tools or EHRs themselves. We recommend the formation a Health Information Technology Safety Center. Such a center could collect error reports, review EHRs and the knowledge resources incorporated within them, and investigate particularly challenging EHR-related safety issues at participating health care delivery organizations. Safety issues could be identified, corrected, and the solutions widely disseminated.
在过去十年中，电子健康记录（EHRs）及相关资源的使用日益增加，这正促使纸质病历走向终结，以及消除与使用纸质病历相关的所有风险。然而，并没有同时设立一个专门负责通过使用电子健康记录知识资源工具或电子健康记录本身来确保公众安全的系统性监督机构。我们建议成立一个健康信息技术安全中心。这样一个中心可以收集错误报告，审查电子健康记录及其所包含的知识资源，并在参与的医疗保健提供机构调查特别具有挑战性的与电子健康记录相关的安全问题。安全问题可以被识别、纠正，并将解决方案广泛传播。
