The virtual neonate in The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: When twin number three adds up to error not imagination

While most literature available regarding Hospital Information Technology (HIT) and patient safety, mainly discusses mismatching of patients during medication and laboratory testing not much literature regarding the process of registering newborns as a source of patient mismatching has been found. The authors feel that there is a need to further investigate this aspect as it is a source that can affect not only accuracy in the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) but furthermore has the impact to change the course of a life and set tone for that person's future.
