Despite all the jokes about the poor quality of physician
handwriting, physician adoption of computerized provider order
entry (CPOE) in hospitals still lags behind other industries' use
of technology. As of the end of 2010, less than 22% of hospitals
had deployed CPOE. Yet experts claim that this technology reduces
over 80% of medication errors and could prevent an estimated
522,000 serious medication errors annually in the US. Even though
the federal government has offered $20 billion dollars in
incentives to hospitals and health systems through the 2009
stimulus (the ARRA HITECH section of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009), many organizations are struggling to
implement advanced clinical information systems including CPOE. In
addition, industry experts estimate that the healthcare industry is
lacking as many as 40,000 persons with expertise in clinical
informatics necessary to make it all happen by the 2016 deadline
for these incentives. While the scientific literature contains
numerous studies and stories about CPOE, no one has written a
comprehensive, practical guide like Making CPOE Work. While early
adopters of CPOE were mainly academic hospitals, community
hospitals are now proceeding with CPOE projects and need a
comprehensive guide. Making CPOE Work is a book that will provide a
concise guide to help both new and experienced health informatics
teams successfully plan and implement CPOE. The book, in a
narrative style, draws on the author's decade-long experiences of
implementing CPOE at a variety of academic, pediatric and community
hospitals across the United States.
