                  <jats:title>Objective</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>We sought to determine rates of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) patient identity verification and when and where in the ordering process verification occurred.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Materials and Methods</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Fifty-five physicians from 4 healthcare systems completed simulated patient scenarios using their respective CPOE system (Epic or Cerner). Eye movements were recorded and analyzed.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Results</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Across all participants patient id was verified significantly more often than not (62.4% vs 37.6%). Vendor A had significantly higher verification rates than not; vendor B had no difference. Participants using vendor A verified information significantly more often before signing the order than after (88.4% vs 11.6%); there was no difference in vendor B. The banner bar was the most frequent verification location.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Discussion</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Factors such as CPOE design, physician training, and the use of a simulated methodology may be impacting verification rates.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Verification rates vary by CPOE product, and this can have patient safety consequences.</jats:p>
