title: The field narrows. As CPOE takes center stage, many hospitals are finding that a pharmacy system from their core clinical vendor makes the most sense.
abstract: Many feel a true integration between pharmacy and core clinical is necessary for CPOE. Best-of-breed pharmacy systems have seen a drop in sales. Many feel established interfaces can work as effectively as integration. A pharmacy build is one of the most difficult in the hospital. New add-on pharmacy offerings from established clinical vendors often need time to work out the integration kinks.
