Abstract

Emergency departments are high risk sites for malpractice events. EMstation™ is an Emergency Medicine Physician Workstation that incorporates tools to reduce malpractice risk in near real time (at the time of documentation). Based on a Microsoft Windows 3.1 interface, physicians are led through color-coded templates addressing known failure modes in emergency medicine. Risk management opportunities available at the time of charting when the patient is often still in the department allowing real time risk reduction are explored.
