Context: This study was done to extract the evaluation criteria assess effects of decision support systems integrated with computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems. Methods: A Scoping review search carried out on papers published in nine electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus, Web Science, Cochrane, Science Direct, ACM digital library, and IEEE Xplore Digital L...

To the Editor—The utilization of various antimicrobial stew-ardship program (ASP) strategies such as prior authorization, prescriber feedback and education, and antibiotic order forms have demonstrated favorable impacts on antibiotic utilization in academic settings. 1-4 To facilitate the implementation of ASPs, institutions have designed computer systems allowing physician/provider order entry...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this review were to document the introduction of computerized physician order entry (CPOE)-centered changes in an academic tertiary care center and to review the CPOE-focused literature. DESIGN We performed a systematic literature review of CPOE-related articles indexed on Medline, with particular emphasis on pediatric applications. We focused our commentary aroun...

OBJECTIVE Although computerized physician order entry (CPOE) may decrease errors and improve quality, hospital adoption has been slow. The high costs and limited data on financial benefits of CPOE systems are a major barrier to adoption. The authors assessed the costs and financial benefits of the CPOE system at Brigham and Women's Hospital over ten years. DESIGN Cost and benefit estimates of...

Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems facilitate safe, effective care for patients by insuring that clinical care directions are communicated in a timely, accurate, and complete manner. Integrating clinical decision support functions into CPOE systems enhances the value of the CPOE systems by incorporating contemporary knowledge and best practice recommendations into the clinical man...

BACKGROUND Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems can help hospitals improve health care quality, but they can also introduce new problems. The extent to which hospitals experience unintended consequences of CPOE, which include more than errors, has not been quantified in prior research. OBJECTIVE To discover the extent and importance of unintended adverse consequences related to CP...

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance to pharmacists in hospitals and health systems on planning for, implementing, and enhancing safe computerized providerorder-entry (CPOE) systems. To date, most CPOE guidelines have concentrated on the functionality required of a CPOE system, despite the fact that most CPOE system implementations occur using commercial systems whose function...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is four-fold. First, the hospitals' current level of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) adoption is reported; second, internal and external influence factors' roles in determining CPOE adoption rates are described; third, the future diffusion rate of CPOE systems in US hospitals is empirically predicted; finally, the current technology's state-of-the-...

PURPOSE Computerised physician order entry (CPOE) systems hold the promise of significant improvements to health care delivery and patient care. The implementation of such systems is costly and complex. The purpose of this paper is to review current evidence of the impact of CPOE on hospital pathology services. METHODS This paper presents a review of the literature (1990-August 2004) about CP...
