NEW STUDY OUTLINES PROMISE AND PITFALLS OF E-PRESCRIBING SYSTEMS
According to a new report from The California Healthcare Foundation
and First Consulting Group, healthcare organizations need to be
careful in implementing e-prescribing initiatives. The guide,
entitled "A Primer on Physician Order Entry," is designed to assist
healthcare providers in understanding CPOE -- Computerized Physician
Order Entry. The primer identifies how CPOE works, critical features
of the technology involved, and in-depth lessons from several case
studies. CHCF says CPOE systems can reduce the medication errors and
adverse drug events that are prevalent throughout healthcare.
However, CHCF warns that CPOE requires careful planning, design, and
process improvement to work effectively.
