From the Boston Globe: Children’s Hospital in Boston said it signed a $35 million, three-year contract with Cerner Corporation to provide a computer system that promises to make patient care more efficient and reduce the chance of medical errors. The contract, for an integrated clinical information technology system, will help doctors and nurses calculate the right medication doses for children, based on weight, and make sure the dose is given to the right patient at the right time. The system will also provide caregivers with up-to-date information about pediatric research.
