Description


The initial phase of decision-making before any medical procedure is largely affected by the emotions of healthcare providers. We used a text mining approach to analyze the emotions of healthcare providers during decision-making prior to drug treatment to determine the association between emotions and medication errors. Our approach may reveal how the emotions of physicians affect medication errors, and may have a significant impact on patient safety.

Learning Objective: After the session, participants will have a better understanding of 1) how physicians' emotions affect medication errors during the decision-making phase prior to drug treatment, and 2) how a text mining approach used to analyze the emotions of health care providers in the decision-making phase prior to medical practice may help improve safety measures for drug treatment and promote patient safety.
