Some Docs Miss Test Results With Electronic Records by Andrew M. Seaman. Reuters. March 5, 2013.

About 30 percent indicated that they missed lab results that resulted in delays in patient care. It was acknowledged that even though the electronic system is better than a paper system, there is still room for improvement in system design.
