PROPER CPOE GRANING Na

Being a computerized system, it is crucial in
the sense that it helps in patient safety,
improved care, as well as modernization of
the overall medical Practices. Since
Preventable medical errors are eliminated
that offers a chance to make optimal ordering
decisions. For instance, specific diagnoses
have their particular set of orders, and with
the CPOE, it allows for pre programmed and
approved orders that follow the accepted
Protocols particular to these diagnoses.
UNFAVORABLE WORKFLOW CHANGES.
The order will go directly from physicians to the lab ond
therefore the nurses will not be able to conduct checks
‘and counterchecks on the order before it reaches the
lab ond so in case there will be an error on such orders
the nurses will not be able to identify the error before
; the order reaches the lab.
UNEXPECTED ERRORS
‘The computerized order entry system is used
inappropriately or is poorly designed, errors related to
‘order entries may occur which can greatly endanger
the safety of the patients and also lower the quality of
health care services,
RECURRING DEMAND FOR SYSTEM
CHANGES,
As the time goes by, the hospitals users will be relying
‘more on the system and will therefore demand for
improved functionality. With the increased functionality,
the system features will aso increase which means that
more resources will need to be dedicated to CPOE
‘System implementation and maintenance.
UNFAVORABLE COMMUNICATION CHANGES
Implementing Computerized Order Entry System will at
some point affect the communication between the
hospital staffs and the patients. The staff will have o
belief that by just entering an order, the other staff will
just see it and work on it.
