Table 3:
SEPCD Potential to Prevent AMH Errors and Resultant Inpatient Order Errors of Varying Severity
| Error Prevention Potential of SEPCD | Significant | Serious | Life-Threatening | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Admission Medication History (AMH) Errors, n (%) | ||||
| None: SEPCD was unrelated to this AMH error | 73 (69) | 21 (10) | 0 (0) | 94 (30) |
| Low: SEPCD probably would not have prevented error | 15 (14) | 66 (32) | 2 (40) | 83 (26) |
| Medium: SEPCD might have prevented error | 7 (7) | 21 (10) | 0 (0) | 28 (9) |
| High: SEPCD probably would have prevented error | 11 (10) | 96 (47) | 3 (60) | 110 (35) |
| Total | 106 (100) | 204 (100) | 5 (100) | 315 (100) |
| Inpatient Order Errors due to AMH Errors, n (%) | ||||
| None: SEPCD was unrelated to this order error | 54 (63) | 4 (7) | 0 (0) | 58 (39) |
| Low: SEPCD probably would not have prevented error | 19 (22) | 16 (28) | 1 (33) | 36 (24) |
| Medium: SEPCD might have prevented error | 4 (5) | 2 (3) | 1 (33) | 7 (5) |
