Abstract

We agree with Weiner, et al that adoption of the term e-Iatrogenesis(1) is both timely and necessary as we begin to identify what we have called new kinds of errors(2) resulting from CPOE implementation. The computerization of clinical information capture with software tools such as CPOE will doubtlessly cause the emergence of a wide variety of new kinds of errors: e-Iatrogenesis provides a clear and concise rubric for these unintended and undesired consequences.
