I wonder how many patients will DIE because of EHR errors? My status was "DNR" according to my chart because of an "accidental swipe" by the practitioner!!

In an interview last week, AndRa said that “from day one” the system has been riddled with problems that frustrated and worried her and other hospital staff. She said that problems arose even after state inspectors signed off on the system prior to the hospital’s opening last fall.
“I went to Ray a week before my dismissal and I said ‘this is unsafe,’” AndRa said.
According to the lawsuit, the electronic medical records system “intermingled” patients’ records and information, had problems tracking and updating patient medications, and did not display “code status” information, which is used to inform doctors of medical interventions desired by patients in the event they stop breathing or experience cardiac arrest.
“The charts were intermingling,” AndRa said. “Mr. Jones’ drugs would pop over to Mrs. Smith’s chart.”
