Abstract
The authors of this article understand the major role that computerized physician order entry (CPOE) may have in preventing physicians and nurses from ordering blood transfusions when the patient did not meet the institutional transfusion criteria. There are many supporting articles that have shown a decrease in ordering lab activities when a CPOE was used during the time when the order entry is being written. This article will focus on the effects of CPOE on reducing red blood cells (RBC) and plasma orders that not meet the criteria for institutional transfusion.
