SINGAPORE - The glitch in the GPConnect software on Sept 1 resulted in more than 100 clinics printing out the wrong medicine dosage for more than 800 patients - double the number originally indicated.
Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS), the government IT company that runs GPConnect, a system that provides general practice clinics with clinical and administrative support, said it received the higher figure from its vendor on Tuesday (Sept 4).
