Linda and Tom discuss the challenges and safety risks associated with the implementation of electronic patient record systems (EPRs) in the NHS. Despite their potential benefits, including improved data management and patient care, EPRs have led to significant issues, such as system errors, staff difficulties adapting to new technology, and delays in patient care. The sources highlight several instances where EPRs have resulted in patient harm, prompting calls for more robust safety measures and transparency in incident reporting. The NHS acknowledges the challenges and is working to address them, but the implementation process remains complex and ongoing.
