Alerting physicians during electronic order entry effectively reduces unnecessary repeat PCR testing for Clostridium difficile.
Hospital information systems (HIS) alerts restricting repeat Clostridium difficile PCR ordering by physicians in patients with a prior result within 7 days eliminated 91% of repeat tests, from 14.5% (282/1,949) repeats preintervention to 1.3% (135/10,285) postintervention.

متن کاملUsing Computerized Physician Order Entry to Decrease Insurance Denials
Insurance denials delay payments for tests to medical institutions and can decrease patient satisfaction due to unexpected billing. Our institution utilizes an ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) for routine clinical care that includes computerized physician order entry (CPOE). At our institution as well as others, considerable cost is associated with inappropriate diagnostic coding of ne...
