Summary Emergency department visits for adverse events (especially medical/surgical complications) among persons 65+ are increasing Consumer receipt of verbal counseling regarding medications remains far below the HP 2010 target EMR and CPOE usage is increasing and has exceeded the HP 2010 targets Demand is approaching supply for blood donations
