Apologies if it appears I've missed the point, and I must confess, I know little about computer systems.

I do, however, have a wide knowledge of the gap between patient need, and health service supply.

Over the years, the "top down," approach to supplying systems which designers think we need, has not been of any benefit to improving patients health, or to help me improve the quality of care my patients deserve.

Designers seem to have the attitude of "this is what I can do," rather than "what do you need."

The znet article concerns itself with avoiding drug "significant events." Admirable, but only part of the solution.
