As you read the case, "
Computerized Provider Order Entry at Emory Healthcare" consider the following questions: (You can write it as a paragraph and include any issues that stood out for you as you read the case.)
These questions are mostly to serve as prompts for thinking. Feel free to reply to others' posts, and add your own view.
- What are main reasons why Emory decided to implement CPOE systems? Were these good reasons?
- Why won’t CPOE’s eliminate all medical errors?
- What are the some differences between how Emory placed orders before CPOE and then after CPOE?
- What is workaround, and how does a change in workflow make workarounds more noticeable?
- Have you ever experienced anything like this in your work or school systems?
Are there any suggestions you have for how to create a culture where people are willing to adapt to unforeseen problems with such a complex system like EHRs and CPOE? Have you had to go through any major system changes in other parts of your life?
