• Digital Records May Increase Reporting of Dangerous Drug Side Effects
  Description: A report published in 2006 in the the Journal of the American Medical Association estimated that 700,000 people a year, especially the elderly, experience adverse drug events that lead to emergency room visits.

A new study suggests that computerized patient records could be used to improve the reporting of serious drug side effects. Reporting of drug side effects is voluntary; however, drug recalls and the FDA's drug-safety efforts are based on these voluntary reports. If the reporting of drug side-effects is automated, the FDA may be better able to identify potentially dangerous drugs. Have you been injured by a dangerous prescription drug?
