title: Orders and evidence-based order sets - Vanderbilt's experience with CPOE ordering patterns between 2000 and 2005.
abstract: Order sets have been used to make evidence-based guidelines actionable at the point of care with evidence of improved outcomes. In order to understand the impact evidence-based order sets might have on patients and providers at Vanderbilt, it is important to understand current and past use of order sets. This study examined ordering patterns over a 6-year period and results are reported.
