Computerized Provider Order Entry Project for Health Informatics

The assignment is a project focusing on Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) in healthcare. It explores the development and implementation of CPOE systems to improve medical order management, reduce errors, and enhance patient safety and wellbeing. The project involves analyzing the benefits of CPOE, including the reduction of adverse drug events and prescription mistakes, and the integration of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems. Data is collected from hospital databases to evaluate the performance of CPOE systems. The project also discusses the role of CPOE in standardizing requests, supporting evidence-based practices, and reducing redundant testing, ultimately aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. References from the assignment are also included.

THE HEALTH INFORMATICS
PROJECT
 The project is based on the development of Computerized Provider Order
Entry (CPOE) systems
 It develops an application for medical order entry for management of medical
orders
 These systems would be executed in clinics and hospitals based on the
improvement of safety systems and reduction of medical errors (Forrester et
al., 2014)
 It would also improve the patient wellbeing conditions and implement better
medical order dispatch processes

SELECTION OF PERFORMANCE
MEASUREMENTS
Based on the selection of performance measurements based on CPOE, it can be
summarized that:
 CPOE systems would be analyzed with Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems.
 Data would be collected from hospital database systems based on time and
data stamps (Netherton et al., 2014).
 The CPOE framework has been analyzed to understand that this framework
would decrease the complications within medicine ordering process.
