ames, do you mean that an evildoer could, say, order an insulin overdose & put someone into a diabetic coma? EMR systems are probably set up so that only certain individuals can authorize medication. Any hackers attempting to order meds would have to be working inside the hospital & have the doctor’s login info. And usually the nurses administering the meds would notice that the dose wasn’t right, just as they would if the doctor made a mistake in a written or verbal order.
