This is a review of the article published in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association in 2007.

Introduction

Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) or Electronic Prescription (EP) have been identified by The Institute of Medicine as key elements in reducing medication errors and improving safety. The authors systematically reviewed literature of outpatient CPOE systems that evaluated safety, cost and efficiency, adherence to guidelines, alerts, time, satisfaction, usage, and usability. [1]

Methods

The authors performed literature search in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid MEDLINE, and EMBASE for relevant articles from 1950 to 2006. There were two reviewers; the discrepancies were solved by a third reviewer. The reviewed articles represented clinical trials, observational studies and simulation studies. The selected articles included objectives of evaluation of an outpatient CPOE system and DSS.
