Has the medical industry correctly identified the problems it faces? What alternative solutions are available?

The medical industry has recognized the fact that errors happen and how it can negatively affect patients. This is why many healthcare facilities have taken steps to aid doctors and nurses in making better decisions about their patients by implementing the use of computerized physician order entries or CPOEs. These kinds of systems are meant to reduce prescription and dosage errors for mediations, keep doctors updated on treatment guidelines, and ordering unnecessary tests. They store important information including small facts that doctors may have forgotten and help doctors make more accurate decisions, reducing the amount of patients that are negatively affected by doctor errors.
