  2. Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)Learning Objectives • Discuss the major value to CPOE adoption • Identify common barriers to CPOE adoption • Identify how CPOE can affect patient care safety, quality and efficiency, as well as patient outcomes

  3. 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

  4. Advantages of CPOE Over Paper-Based Systems • 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

  5. Advantages of CPOE Over Paper-Based Systems • 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 • Lessen incorrect drug choices

  6. Major Value of CPOE • Enhanced patient safety • Reduced costs • Reduced variations in care by encouraging best practices

  7. Major Barriers • Belief that physicians will not use computerized ordering • Not a small or easy task • Impact on workflow • Risk • Cost

  8. e-iatrogenesis • “Patient harm caused at least in part by the application of health information technology”

  9. Medication Error Risks • Information errors • Medication discontinuation failures • Immediate order and give-as-needed medication discontinuation faults • Antibiotic renewal failure • Conflicting or duplicative medications

  10. Medication Error RisksHuman-Machine Interface Flaws • 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.

  11. Major Support for CPOE Adoption • 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

  12. Electronic Health Record Incentive Program Final Rule • Increasing use in all stages of Meaningful Use • CPOE included in the core set of measures • Started with only medication orders in Stage 1, subsequent stages include all departments • 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

  13. CPOE’s Impact • 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

  14. CPOE’s Impact • Improve the efficiency • Improve compliance with evidence-base practices

  15. CPOE’s Impact • Not a technology implementation • A redesign of a complex clinical process • Organizational change initiative

  16. 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
