MedAware Validates an Emerging Risk to Patient Safety - Physician Burnout and Lack of Experience Linked to Prescription Errors
MedAware, a leader in AI-enabled decision support and patient safety solutions, released the results from a study showing that sleep-deprived, overworked junior physicians are at increased risk of erroneous prescribing and jeopardizing patient safety. The study highlights the need for AI-driven, personalized decision support to mitigate the risks of medication errors. MedAwares platform, which boasts an 85% accuracy rate, acts as a safety layer within electronic health records (EHRs) and detects outlier prescribing behavior. The study found that physicians with high workloads were 8 times more likely to make prescribing errors, and continuous back-to-back shifts were associated with 2 times the risk of error. MedAware emphasizes the importance of incorporating probabilistic and personalized decision support tools to improve patient safety.
