Patient Safety Threats in Information Management Using Health Information Technology in Ambulatory Cancer Care: An Exploratory, Prospective Study

Conclusions The current design and implementation of HIT systems do not support adequate information management: clinicians needed to play very close attention and improvise to avoid errors in using HIT and treat cancer patients safely. It is important to take the clinical front-end practice into account when evaluating or planning further HIT improvements.
