Advantages of CPOE Over PaperBased Systems
• Handwriting identification problems no
longer exist
• The order reaches the pharmacy quicker
• Errors associated with similar drug names
are not as likely to occur
• Easier to interface with electronic health
records and decision support systems

Advantages of CPOE Over PaperBased Systems
• Errors caused by use of apothecary
measures not as likely to occur
• Easy connection to drug-drug interaction
warnings
• Probability of recognizing the prescribing
physician
• Connection to adverse drug event
reporting systems made possible

Advantages of CPOE Over PaperBased Systems
• Immediate data analysis made possible
• Economic savings may occur
• Via online prompts
– Join CPOE with algorithms to underscore
cost-effective medications
– Decrease underprescribing and
overprescribing
– Lesson incorrect drug choices

Medication Error Risks
• Information errors
– Medication discontinuation failures
– Immediate order and give-as-needed
medication discontinuation faults
– Antibiotic renewal failure
– Conflicting or duplicative medications

Medication Error Risks
Human-Machine Interface Flaws
• Wrong medication selection
• Loss of data, time, and focus when CPOE is
nonfunctional
• Sending medications to wrong rooms when the
computer system has shut down
• Late-in-day orders lost for 24 hours
• Role of charting difficulties in inaccurate and
delayed medication administration
• Inflexible ordering screens, incorrect
medications.
