چکیده
Wrong-patient errors from inadvertent menu selections while using computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems could have fatal consequences. This study investigated whether the manipulation of CPOE interface design could improve healthcare providers’ ability to recognize patient selection errors and also decrease the time to error recognition. Using a 2x2 design, 120 participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups, interacting with different versions of a simulated CPOE: (1) controlstandard version; (2) highlighted selectionthe selected patient D ow nl oa de d by [ U ni ve rs ity O f M ar yl an d] a t 0 9: 23 2 9 A ug us t 2 01 7
