Description:
Evidence supports the impact of CPOE as a way to improve patient care. Academic medical centers are leading the way, but the vast majority of hospitals have not yet implemented CPOE. Where does your institution stand? Open dialogue between pharmacists, physicians, and nurses is critical to success. But what are the other important factors? This session will address the critical success factors to a successful CPOE implementation.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe specific factors impacting an efficient and effective CPOE implementation in your setting.
- Identify the features of a CPOE system that are critical to clinician adoption at your institution.
- Describe the type of implementation team needed to help your institution successfully implement CPOE.
