Introduction
The development and implementation of a CPOE system is a complex matter that requires attention to the details of clinical decision-making and how those details fit into everyday clinical workflow and the overall clinical strategy of an institution. Order set development is a rationalization of practice, and proceeds from some underlying strategy, approach or philosophy. This study observed and reported on three approaches to developing order sets observed in this case, referred to as Empirical, Local Consensus, and Departmental.
Methods
The research was conducted in a multi-hospital, academic health system in the Midwestern United States. The case was conducted to explore the strategies used to design order sets. Methods include 64 observation meetings and 15 key participants interviews.
Results
Three approaches were identified for the development of order sets: 1. Empirical approach - It uses clinical data to depict current practice and map the order set to that practice.
