Is a CPOE implementation in your future?

For most hospitals today computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is no longer an option. There are too many good reasons for CPOE not to put it in the plans: 
• Improved patient safety & quality
• Long-term cost reduction
• Qualify for millions in ARRA stimulus dollars
• Avoid CMS penalties beginning in 2015

But CPOE implementations are notoriously difficult to navigate due to:
• Organization-wide change
• Changes in physician workflow
• Physician buy-in and adoption
• Initial and ongoing physician support and training
• Changes in all order-related process affecting nursing and every ancillary department
• Development of order sets
• Management of clinical decision support rules

CareTech Solutions has helped many hospital and health systems navigate the challenges successfully.
