The Impact of Implementing a New Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System on Pharmaceutical Interventions in a Tertiary Brazilian Hospital.
We analyzed trends in pharmaceutical interventions during the implementation of a new computerized physician order entry (CPOE) process in a tertiary hospital in Brazil. The new process utilized an eletronic interface that was designed in-house and an automatic order extension program. The new process reduced the number of order transcriptions and mitigated other potential CPOE-related errors [1].
