Computerized clinical decision support (CDS) helps prevent medication errors throughout the medication process. This study evaluated self-reported medication errors in the operating room to establish if CDS could have prevented them. Eighty medication errors were reported with 95% determined to be potentially preventable with CDS. All wrong medication, wrong dose, and documentation errors were rated as potentially preventable.
