Background: One way to reduce medical errors associated with physician orders is computerized physician order entry (CPOE) software. This study was conducted to compare prescription orders between 2 groups before and after CPOE implementation in a hospital.    Methods: We conducted a before-after prospective study in 2 intensive care unit (ICU) wards (as intervention and control ward...

introduction: despite potential benefits of cpoe (computerized physician order entry) systems, recent studies have cast some doubts on their role in reducing errors. cpoe systems with poorly designed interfaces have proven to cause dissatisfaction and introduce new kinds of errors in the ordering process. the main objective of this study is to identify problems related to a cpoe medication syst...

OBJECTIVE It is the objective of this article to provide a guide to health care providers adopting computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) and to explain recent developments of important concepts and initiatives such as "meaningful use" that will have significant impact on successful implementation of CPOE. The specific goals are to discuss key concepts relating to the NEW ARRA/HITECH-EHR me...

While computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is still in its infancy as far as adoption goes (<10% of North American hospitals have implemented CPOE), most organizations are planning to utilize CPOE in the future. However, one of the major questions on most hospitals' minds is, "Will physicians accept and use CPOE?"Recently, KLAS set out to discover what progress has been made in CPOE penetr...

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...

IMPORTANCE Medication computerised provider order entry (CPOE) has been shown to decrease errors and is being widely adopted. However, CPOE also has potential for introducing or contributing to errors. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are to (a) analyse medication error reports where CPOE was reported as a 'contributing cause' and (b) develop 'use cases' based on these reports to test ...

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...

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...
