Lecture b

Advantages of CPOE Over Paper-Based Systems

• Handwriting identification problems no longer exist

• The order reaches the pharmacy quicker

• Errors associated with similar drug names are not as likely to occur

• Easier to interface with electronic health records and decision support systems

Lecture b




Lecture b

• Errors caused by use of apothecary measures not as likely to occur

• Easy connection to drug-drug interaction warnings

• Probability of recognizing the prescribing physician

• Connection to adverse drug event reporting systems made possible




Lecture b

• Immediate data analysis made possible

• Economic savings may occur

• Via online prompts– Join CPOE with algorithms to underscore

cost-effective medications – Decrease underprescribing and

overprescribing– Lesson incorrect drug choices

Major Value of CPOE



Lecture b

• Enhanced patient safety

• Reduced costs

• Reduced variations in care by encouraging best practices

Major Barriers



Lecture b

• Belief that physicians will not use computerized ordering

• Not a small or easy task

• Impact on workflow

• Risk

• Cost

e-iatrogenesis



Lecture b

• “Patient harm caused at least in part by the application of health information technology”

Medication Error Risks



Lecture b

• Information errors– Medication discontinuation failures– Immediate order and give-as-needed

medication discontinuation faults– Antibiotic renewal failure– Conflicting or duplicative medications

Medication Error RisksHuman-Machine Interface Flaws



Lecture b

• Wrong medication selection• Loss of data, time, and focus when CPOE is

nonfunctional• Sending medications to wrong rooms when the

computer system has shut down• Late-in-day orders lost for 24 hours• Role of charting difficulties in inaccurate and

delayed medication administration • Inflexible ordering screens, incorrect

medications.

Major Support for CPOE Adoption



Lecture b

• HITECH Act– Use of health information technology in

• Improving the quality of health care• Reducing medical errors• Reducing health disparities • Increasing prevention • Improving the continuity of care among health care

settings

Electronic Health Record Incentive Program Final Rule



Lecture b

• Stage 1– CPOE included in the core set of measures– Only medication orders

• 30% threshold (60% for Stage 2)

– Transmission of the order is not included in the objective or the associated measure

• Any licensed healthcare professional can enter orders into the medical record per state, local and professional guidelines

CPOE’s Impact



Lecture b

• CPOE can with Clinical Decision Support (CDS)– Improve medication safety and quality of care– Reduce costs of care – Improve compliance with provider guidelines– Improve the efficiency of hospital workflow

CPOE’s Impact



Lecture b

• Improve the efficiency

• Improve compliance with evidence-base practices

CPOE’s Impact



Lecture b

• Not a technology implementation– A redesign of a complex clinical process

• Organizational change initiative

Computerized Provider Order EntrySummary

• Defined CPOE

• Identified attributes and functions

• Explained ways in which CPOE is currently being used in health care

• Stated major values and common barriers

• Described the positive and negative impact on patient care safety, quality and efficiency, as well as patient outcomes
