- ongoing efforts to monitor patients on medications, especially people newly started on these medications, to surveil for adverse drugs reactions and non-adherence.
He presents data from 3 recent/ongoing projects working on these issues including a head to head comparison of an indications-based prescribing prototype with CPOE ordering in Epic and CERNER EHR Systems.
