Health-related incidents are unintended events that occur to cause harm to a patient. Health IT issues can be computer-related issues such as system configuration, a software function, and system interface, which happens due to difficulty in screen reading, making the user misuse the computer. Another case is human-computer issues which are caused by inputting the computer wrongly or retrieving the wrong information. It can be caused by how the health IT system was designed or implemented (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology 2013). For example, a health care organization may decide to display drug names according to letters. You find that users get a hard time finding the drug or end up using a different medicine with the same letterhead.
