Introduction

Most CPOEsystems have built-in support for order sets (collection of orders grouped by a clinical purpose). Evidence and experience suggest that order sets are important tools for ordering efficiency and decision support and may influence ordering. Developing and maintaining order sets is costly, so hospitals often must prioritize which order sets can be created. The goal of this study is extend what is already known about order sets by doing the first multi-site analysis of order set utilization with a cross-sit comparison of user behaviors.

Methods

Ten health care institutions were requested to participate in study that requested to provide anonymized data logs with date, time and order set name for each instance of order set utilization over the course of one year. Seven of the ten institutions participated in the study. The data was loaded in Microsoft Access database.
