CPOE

CPOE, or Computerized Physician Order Entry, is a digital system that allows healthcare providers to enter medical orders—such as prescriptions, lab tests, or imaging requests—directly into a computer. This technology reduces errors caused by handwriting misinterpretation, improves communication, and speeds up the process of delivering care. By integrating with patient records, CPOE ensures that the right treatments are ordered accurately and efficiently, supporting better clinical decisions and enhancing patient safety.
