It also 'helps' that EHR software has been forced onto hospitals at such an early point. My father constantly checks what orders are given to a patient now because one time, an order he placed at a patient's previous visit to the hospital was placed at the current patient's visit instead, almost two months later. Luckily the screw up was just with food assigned to the patient (high fiber diet vs liquids), but imagine if it was something like a drug being prescribed.

I work with EHRs. Patient context bugs (patient number, visit number, chart number, encounter number, or any combination thereof) don't come up THAT often but it seems like everyone has them. It's actually surprising the occurrence is low since most of them are giant piles of WinForms spaghetti by now.
