What is Computerized
Physician Order Entry (CPOE)?
With CPOE, physicians enter orders
into a computer rather than on paper.
Orders are integrated with patient
information, including laboratory and
prescription data.
The order is then automatically checked
for potential errors or problems.
Patient safety
Decrease transcriptions errors
Prompts that warn against the possibility of drug
interaction, allergy or overdose, duplicated testing
Accurate, current information that helps physicians
keep up with new drugs as they are introduced into
the market
Drug-specific information that eliminates confusion
among drug names that sound alike
Improved communication between physicians and
clinical services (pharmacy, laboratory, radiology,
etc.)
Improved efficiencies & reduced health care costs
