At all costs the CDSS works with the CPOE to prevent not only errors of ordering prescriptions, or ordering the wrong prescription, but also of omission. In theory, CPOE offers numerous advantages over traditional paper-based order-writing systems. Examples of these advantages include averting problems with handwriting, similar drug names, drug interactions, and specification errors; integration with electronic medical records, decision support systems, and adverse drug event reporting systems; faster transmission to the pharmacy; and potential economic…

There are practices that a provider can put into place to help ensure that patient flow is maintained. For example instead of waiting until the day a new patient is to come in for an appointment to fill out the required paperwork if possible mail the paperwork to the patient in advance if possible. Another option is to have a way where the patient could electronically retrieve the paperwork either through a website or via e-mail. This will allow the patient antiquate time to go examin the forms and complete them. A study conducted by Onisuru T.

I found myself so focused on what the medication was that often I did not even look at the patient’s name that was on the label.…
