Preview: Computerized Physician Order
Entry

This presentation will provide an overview of computerized physician order entry
(CPOE) in the context of an emergency room visit that continues on into the inpatient setting of care. This presentation will also demonstrate how integrating
CPOE with electronic progress notes and the portal can help us achieve higher

Preview: Bar Coding and Clinical
Documentation

This presentation will provide an overview of how bar code scanning and clinical
documentation enables the entire care team to review key clinical data in real
time before a medication is administered — improving patient safety by helping
to stop errors before they can occur. A patient-specific flow sheet incorporates
integrated clinical data so that nurses can chart and view relevant information
such as I&O, lab data and vital signs while administering medications and
infusions.
