This is a review of a CPOE study conducted in Taiwan and published in Clinical Therapeutics in 2015.
Inroduction
The authors suggest that overdependence on technology can result in unintended medication errors and affect physicians prescription wiring skills. This study assessed the completeness, legibility, and accuracy of physicians' handwritten prescriptions during an unintentional crash of a long-running CPOE system at a large hospital. [1]
Methods
The CPOE failure occurred in 2010 in a large hospital because of a hardware problem. The downtime lasted 3.5 hours. The analysis of a handwritten prescription was divided in 2 parts:(1) patient's and prescriber's data; and (2) drug data. Treatment decisions were not analyzed.
