The use of a CPOE log for the analysis of physicians' behavior when responding to drug-duplication reminders.

posted in: Updates in Informatics | 0

CONCLUSION: The log file appears to be a valuable source for analyzing physicians’ behavior on reminders if well designed with the CPOE. Hospitals, clinicians and patients should pay more attention and be seriously concerned about CPOE reminders. It is also important to reexamine the physicians’ workload and the insurer reimbursement policy in relation to drug duplication.
