computerized physician order entry (cpoe)

How does CPOE improve patient safety?

CPOE improves patient safety by minimizing transcription errors, standardizing orders, and providing clinical decision support. The system can flag potentially dangerous orders and suggest evidence-based alternatives. For instance, if a pediatrician prescribes a dosage that is too high for a child’s weight, the CPOE system can alert the physician to correct the dosage before it reaches the pharmacy.
