RT Journal A1 Schiff GD, Rucker T T1 BArriers to computerized prescribing—reply JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 1998 FD August 12 VO 280 IS 6 SP 516 OP 517 DO 10-1001/pubs.JAMA-ISSN-0098-7484-280-6-jac057001 UL http://dx.doi.org/10-1001/pubs.JAMA-ISSN-0098-7484-280-6-jac057001 AB As we outlined in Table 2 of our article, progress has been impeded by a panoply of conceptual, technical, and policy barriers. While Silverstein amplifies on one of these barriers, we believe that a deeper understanding of the role and interactions among the 15 inhibitors of progress we identify is necessary to accomplish the goal of using the computer to significantly improve medication use.
