This is a review of Magid, Forrer, and Shaha’s 2012 article, Duplicate Orders: An Unintended Consequence of Computerized provider/physician order entry (CPOE) Implementation: Analysis and Mitigation Strategies [1]
Background
The benefits of computerized provider/physician order entry (CPOE) have been. CPOE, particularly with clinical decision support (CDS), has been shown to increase patient safety. CPOE has also been reported to improve:[1]
- The utilization of health care services
- Decrease costs
- Reduce hospital length of stay
- Decrease medical errors
- Improve compliance with guidelines
CPOE systems improve legibility and decrease errors relating to look-alike, sound-alike medications. Reductions in medication errors have been noted for:[1]
- Dosing
- Frequency
- Route
- Substitution
- Allergies
Improved prescribing practices with respect to use of proper drugs, dosing and timing have also been documented.[1]
