Computerized Physician Order System (CPOE)

Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) Systems

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems are designed to reduce medication errors. The best evidence to date demonstrates that patients who experience adverse drug events (ADEs) that are preventable have, on average, longer hospital lengths of stay (by approximately two to four-and-a-half days) and higher hospital costs (between $2,000 to almost $5,000). Researchers and practitioners h...

Explaining Physician Technology Acceptance of Computerized Physician Order Entry (cpoe)

This study explores factors relating to physicians acceptance of technology for computerized physician order entry (CPOE. Given the complexity of the healthcare industry and its unique occupational dynamics, the Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) alone may not be an appropriate methodology for explaining technology acceptance as it applies to medical practitioners. Along with perceived ea...

Evaluating Inter-Professional Work Support by a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System

Physician-centered design for computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems overlooks the collaborative, multi-professional nature of medical work. We analyzed the compatibility of the conceptual model of inter-professional workflow underlying a CPOE system with real-life workflow in the medication ordering and administration process. We conducted twenty-three semi-structured interviews wit...

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system: expectations and experiences of users.
