Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)

Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) is a digital system that allows healthcare providers, like doctors and nurses, to enter and manage orders for patient care, such as medications, lab tests, and procedures, directly into a computer. This system helps reduce errors, improves communication among staff, and increases efficiency by automating the ordering process. CPOE ensures that orders are clear and accessible to all members of the healthcare team, ultimately leading to safer and more effective patient treatment.
