Computer physician order entry

Present, and Future Some research into the Computerized Physician Order Entry machine show that future use of this machine can potentially reduce the risk of adverse drug events, drug abuse, and medication errors. Subsequently, this can improve the quality of care exponentially. It has been estimated that only five percent of hospitals use the CPOE in their hospitals, though there is expected to be an increase of this usage in the future. Although the machine is expensive and difficult to implement, there has been an increase in interest of the CPOE. What is a CPOE machine? Literally, it translates to Computerized Physician Order Entry, but what does it do? Basically, it is a computer application that receives orders from…

nurse practitioners were concerned that the EHRs would be time consuming and take away from the care of their patient. To be able to talk and care for the patient while also updating and making sure all the charting was done correctly was a big concern. Were the patients going to feel neglected because the doctor is typing in the computer while they are talking to them? For the “old time doctors”, who were use to paper charting, typing and understanding where and how to enter data in the…

A comparison of 2 computerized management systems and each of their benefits offered to patient care and nursing care delivery are also defined below. How can the use of the computerized management systems increase the quality of patient care, along with the use and integration of handheld devices? Computerized management systems provide many opportunities to increase the quality of patient care; one example is computerized physician order entry (CPOE). CPOE requires the physicians to…

forth by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Overall, the HITECH Act and Meaningful use standards were created to improve quality of care, patient safety, and public health. In order to verify the outcome we will investigate the effects of computerized physician order entry (CPOE), computerized decision support systems (CDDSs), use of statistical reports, and health information…

Physicians, change and toxic behaviors Toxic behaviors in the workplace have the potential to arise during moments of change. They are often associated with miscommunication and loss of control, which result in emotional burnout, high turnover, patient safety events and poor patient outcomes. These behaviors are not acceptable and should not be tolerated. Nurse leaders have a responsibility to control and even eradicate these toxic behaviors. Nurse leaders must collaborate with other…

Physicians have more jobs to do within the whole procedure. Before the CPOE, new medication reconciliation will be placed after the communication between the doctor and the nurse. Now physicians should be able to place the order by themselves and send them to the providers directly. Nurse’s job is only to take care of inpatients. Roles and Responsibilities: the CPOE project provides greater power to physicians and fewer burdens on nurses. The number of clerks will decrease sharply…

patient care, and accessibility of the chart to provide universal access of health care information across multidisciplinary teams. Physician order entry provides clinical alerts, reminders, and protocol-driven order sets. There is no longer a need to expend time searching for a chart or attempting to decipher orders. The Electronic Medical Record, better known as the EMR, has many benefits as well as limitations. The barriers to computer charting found from personal experience come from a time…

PICOT Question Do the procedures for drug prescription and dosage using computerized physician order entry as compared to other methods like solely paper documentation lead to a reduction in medical error rate similar to that found in the literature? Problem The issue of interest is whether Electronic Health Record systems like Computer Physician Order Entry is more efficient in decreasing medical error rates than the paper and pencil method of ordering. Probably one of the biggest challenges…

Electronic health records have been a significant change to health care systems and continue to rise across the nation. Patient histories, treatments, orders and medications were handwritten before the use of electronic medical records placing a significant risk for errors due to the illegibility of handwritten orders. Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) allows physicians to enter orders electronically, which helps prevent medication errors in such ways that data can be filled in legibly…
