Anyone using Epic reports to obtain Med Error data?

Hello,
Does anyone use reports from Epic or their EMR to obtain data regarding medication errors/events? If so what type of data are you able to obtain?

As with all Safety Reporting Systems our current system relies on staff to voluntarily report and so we are looking at ways to capture more data reliably through Epic/EMR. We wanted to see if anyone else has had success doing so.

Thank you,
Madiha
