Computerized provider-order entry: challenges, achievements, and opportunities

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ‘traction’ as the adhesive friction of a body on a surface on which it moves. Within the field of biomedical informatics, we have updated that definition so that the ‘body ’ may refer to a technological advance, and the ‘surface’ to a person, group, or environment in which the technological advance has been introduced.

Computerized provider order entry and patient safety.

Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and clinical decision support (CDS) are advocated health care information technologies for improving patient safety through reduction and prevention of medication errors. CPOE and DCS target specific errors in medication processes, particularly in prescribing and ordering. These are of particular importance in pediatrics, because children may be more vul...

Efficiency Gains with Computerized Provider Order Entry

Objective: The objective of this project was to measure efficiency gains in turnaround times with the implementation of a computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system. Methods: Preand post-CPOE turnaround times (TATs) were measured for orders placed for laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy. The pre-CPOE group was nonrandomized and included a convenience sample of 240 patients with a sample of...
