The effects of Computerized Provider Order Entry on medication turn-around time: a time-to-first dose study at the Providence Portland Medical Center.

Full Abstract

As the Providence Health System is phasing in its Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) system at the Providence Portland Medical Center, we conducted a study to demonstrate the effects of CPOE on medication turn-around time. Retrospectively, we tracked and compared medication orders that were placed via the existing paper-based system and the CPOE system. The results of this study coincide with, and confirm, previous research that has been performed at large academic medical centers.
