Hello everybody and welcome to tech in five minutes today we're going to be talking about cpoe watch this video to know what cpoe is explore how it functions evaluate its pros and cons and determine strategies for successful implementation on our channel we share thoughts on recent developments in the tech industry
subscribe not to miss new videos let's start cpoe stands for computerized provider order entry the technology represents a computer application that allows doctors to create orders for drugs laboratory and imaging tests and other medical services electronically rather than by writing and transmitting
paper-based prescriptions you're probably thinking now what's the difference between cpoe and e-prescribing a computerized provider order entry system is used in the hospital environment for providing inpatient care in the meantime an e-prescribing system supports outpatient environments where a paper
prescription for drugs needs to be written by the way we highly recommend reading the article about medical diagnosis app development the link is in the description so how does computerized provider order entry work well the typical clinical workflow that involves a cpoe system includes the following steps the doctor
logs into the cpoe system if it's standalone software or in the ehr platform if cpoe is only its module after successful authorization the doctor starts creating and editing the order for drugs laboratory tests then the order is verified using the data stored in the clinical decision support system electronic health records
software and of course in the practice management system when verification is completed the order is transmitted to the service or medication provider in the end the order is logged into a patient's medical history stored in the ehr now let's take a closer look at key benefits of computerized provider order entry
among the prominent cpoe benefits indicated by both experts and users are defined by the following points fewer medication errors in fact the researchers state that the cpoe platform can reduce 13 to 19 of medication errors the next benefit is increased efficiency of workflows in the healthcare institution
and finally we get cost savings as cpoe systems help significantly reduce the extra expenses resulting from medical errors can you think of any other ways to reduce medical errors share your thoughts in the comments it all sounds good right so why not implement cpoe systems everywhere in fact there are certain
challenges to cpoe adoption let's review them the first challenge is complicated initial setup and integrations well the system usually requires lots of customizations and integrations with the existing software to address the needs of a particular healthcare provider numerous workflow disruptions is the
second challenge and one way to smoothen this issue is to deliberately slow down the process of software implementation and gradually introduce changes the third challenge is a need for constant support and updates from our experience we can say that the updates and support of the cpoe software are crucial for the hospitals that want
to keep up with current industry tendencies and meet safety requirements when working with patients and the last challenge is data entry errors therefore it's vital to test the cpoe systems and analyze the cases when errors occurred how to overcome barriers to successful cpoe implementation we at gelvix created a
list of recommendations that may help healthcare providers to achieve better results so engage physicians and nurses in all stages design and improve current workflow and processes choose a reliable development team to build or customize the solution and train your medical staff to overcome these issues we advise the
healthcare organization to focus on its needs map its ordering workflows and engage medical staff in all the processes which healthcare software would you like us to review next share your ideas in the comments section below this video was prepared by the jelvix team jelvix helps top brands worldwide to
