Enhancing patient safety: clinician order entry with a pharmacy interface.
The electronic pharmacy interface is the unique aspect of Boston Medical Center's new clinician order entry system, which electronically transmits clinicians' orders to the laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy. The interface and several other enhancements create a platform for clinicians that provides for efficiency, standardization, documentation compliance, and most important, improved patient safety.
