Abstract
Electronic medication systems (EMS) improve medication safety in hospitals; however require modifications to optimize their performance. Drawing on a five-year program of research, we developed the Health Innovation Series to disseminate recommendations arising from our research to a wide audience. Each issue contains EMS optimization tips that can be actioned by EMS managers and system vendors, as well as user tips for health professionals including nurses, doctors and pharmacists. Five issues were released by 30 Nov 2022, via two email campaigns, with further issues planned. The five issues had 2,035 downloads by March 2023. The most recent email campaign open and click rates indicate very good audience engagement.
