Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
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 have demonstrated impressive reductions in ADE costs when a CPOE system is used in conjunction with clinical decision support systems, such as prescribing cheaper but equally effective drugs, reducing unnecessary lab tests, and using evidence-based treatment guidelines.
