Decrease in hospital-wide mortality rate after implementation of a commercially sold computerized physician order entry system.
Pediatrics. 2010; (1): 14-21
Implementations of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems have previously been associated with either an increase or no change in hospital-wide mortality rates of inpatients. Despite widespread enthusiasm for CPOE as a tool to help transform quality and patient safety, no published studies to date have associated CPOE implementation with significant reductions in hospital-wide mortality rates.
