Duke University Hospital uses rapid deployment to implement CPOE, clinical decision support.
These are trying times for advocates of computerized physician order entry (CPOE). A recent study in JAMA identified more than 20 types of error risks that were caused by a CPOE system. Market research indicates that fewer than 10% of provider organizations have implemented CPOE systems, with very slow growth forecast. But the rapid--and so far, successful--deployment of a CPOE with a clinical decision support component at Duke University Hospital shows a more positive side.
