Technology led a hospital to give a patient 38 times his dosage
This horribly written series of articles should be titled &quot;How technology could not prevent a hospital from giving a patient 38 times his dosage&quot;.<p>- The system&#x27;s dosage caps were disabled<p>- The dosage was never double checked since &quot;technology is so accurate&quot;, ignoring people still make mistakes when using it<p>- Vast swaths of alerts are regularly ignored rather than fixed resulting in them being ignored<p>But more than anything already listed... the nurse didn&#x27;t question giving someone 38 pills beyond &quot;must be dilluted&quot; yet the article pushes the focus to how technology led to the error? I just can&#x27;t see how this title was chosen beyond clickbait considering it has statistics included showing how this system has been more reliable than the classic solution.
