that's not how I read the article. This nurse made a huge error and repeatedly overrode clear alert systems. The only complaint I can see is needing to type the formal name of the drug instead of the brand name.
That part of the article makes me wonder how often they are asked to override alerts. Is it something that they have to do for every medication? For commonly prescribed medications?
It's possible the particular medication management system has it as an option of some sort-only some meds can be overriden, only some users can override, or maybe some manager can turn off completely the ability to override. There's definitely a time and a place for overriding meds, and nothing in this story indicates that particular workflow is too prevalent or pervasive.
It's possible, we just don't know. The prosecution doesn't seem to be saying. Really, my point is (by example) if regular medications require 4 confirmations or overrides and this one requires 5, that's a problem.
