The article was published in 2014 in PLOS ONE, the world’s first multidisciplinary Open Access journal.

Background

Splitting of extended-release (ER) or enteric-coated (EC) oral drugs can lead to adverse drug events (ADE). To reduce inappropriate pill splitting, the authors developed an automatic warning system within CPOE in an outpatient setting of a hospital. The study assessed the impact of the system and physicians responses. [1]
