Specifically, we need to:
1. Enhance our understanding of EHR contributions to diagnostic error
2. Design the EHR to support the diagnostic process Medical HumanFactors ehrseewhatwemean.org
3. Help clinicians recognize EHR hazards
Thanks to AHRQ for supporting this effort

We are #MedStarHealthProud to be involved with this group of organizations, as we work together to create best practices for using #AI responsibly and equitably. Thank you Microsoft for bringing us together!

How can we prevent #AI in clinical settings from contributing to patient harm? Raj Ratwani, PhD David Bates & D. Classen offer recommendations for health systems to consider when building AI safety programs. Check it out JAMA Health Forum #zeroharm

Transitions are difficult…especially when they involve EHRs. David Bates and I share a few insights in JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Task analysis? FMEA? Heuristic evaluations? Design principles?

This work is one signal suggesting people are still reluctant to share EHR screenshots/videos that can serve to highlight critical safety issues. Perhaps continued EHR pressure? Great work from Kristen Miller & Monika Bapna with Georgetown Medicine MedStar Health Research.
