CPOE is the process of a healthcare practitioner entering and sending medical treatment instructions electronically over a secure computer network. CPOE is used to digitally communicate patient care instructions to medical staff or departments such as the pharmacy or laboratory responsible for fulfilling the request. Offering many advantages over hand-written or transcribed instructions, CPOE reduces the time required to send and complete orders, increases the accuracy of the communication, and enhances patient safety through reminders and alerts to the physicians. Lowered Healthcare Costs
The rising cost of healthcare is a serious challenge Americans face across the country. One of the primary ways healthcare organizations are combating escalating costs is through improved efficiencies gained by data analytics and the cost-saving, patient-focused recommendations of nurse Informaticists. As we’ve covered, nurse informaticists use data-informed insights to improve almost every aspect of patient-centered care. With streamlined processes, teams work more efficiently with less stress on the staff. Clear communication and consistent documentation speeds patient care and reduces the chance of costly medical errors. And with the use of integrated healthcare technology systems, many tedious administrative tasks are automated, improving productivity and lowering costs.
