Doctors' Poor Handwriting Kills 7,000 and Injures 1.5 Million Annually
    #6465067 -

A National Academies of Science's Institute of Medicine report has revealed that in excess of 7,000 people are killed each year as a result of poor handwriting by doctors. A further 1.5 million are injured.


The main areas of risk are illegible writing, unclear abbreviations, and vague dosage directions. In response a free, web-based program will be launched to allow doctors to write electronic prescriptions and check for harmful drug interactions.


Less than 10% of American doctors do not have access to the internet in their surgery. The e-prescription program is likely to increase efficiency and reduce casualties. It may be a stepping stone to a completely electronic medical records system.

Ya my doctor has horrible writing and I often get asked what she wrote when I go to get a prescription filled. Luckily I listen to what she's saying so I know. Could come in handy some day if I ever get good pills and the # mg is written wrong. :laugh:
