Overview

A recent article published online as a PrePrint in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association addressed the extent to which hospitals experience unintended consequences during and following computerized provider order entry (CPOE) implementation. Joan S. Ash, Ph.D., the principal author of this article, will lead a discussion with an explanation of the various types of unintended consequences identified in her study and their importance.

Dr. Ash will be joined by representatives from two health care systems, one urban and one rural, in which CPOE has been operating for more than 3 years. These panelists will describe their experiences with CPOE, including the unintended consequences faced during and after implementation. The panel will also discuss strategies for confronting and resolving unintended consequences to ensure that CPOE systems achieve their aims of improving health care safety, quality, and efficiency.
