Computerized prescriber order entry in the outpatient oncology setting: from evidence to meaningful use
This is a review of Kukreti, Cosby, Cheung, Lankshear, and ST Computerized Prescriber Order Entry 2014 article, Computerized prescriber order entry in the outpatient oncology setting: From evidence to meaningful use.[1]
Background
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE ) is a health IT component that allows clinicians to directly place a medication order during a patient visit. The goal of CPOE is to provide overall better care for patients through reducing errors at the time of ordering. [2]
The authors in this article performed a systemic review of CPOE used in an oncology setting during the administration of chemotherapy. In previous articles, there has been mixed reviews for the use of CPOE in healthcare. More times than less, the results are beneficial. Now, the authors want to see if based on previous research studies, the benefits from using CPOE can be implemented in order to reduce the high amount of adverse events caused by wrongful ordering.
Methods
The authors of the article chose four well known databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and COMPENDEX for relevant evidence.
