Jumping the CPOE generation gap: Queen's Epic Installation.
The Queen's Medical Center has been a pioneer in the use of information technology for clinical care, especially for a community hospital. Queen's had demonstrated a high rate of success with CPOE dating to 1995. In 2003, Queen's took another pioneering step by choosing to upgrade its clinical systems with a single vendor solution. Additionally, a big-bang, all at once roll out was chosen. Despite this ambitious and high-risk project, Queen's has experienced success with its roll out of its next generation clinical system.
