Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) alert prescribers to potentially unsafe medication orders, such as drug-drug interactions or dosing errors. In this study, ten outpatient clinics used the Ambulatory Electronic Health Record (EHR) Evaluation Tool to evaluate the ability of their CPOE to detect medication safety errors. Scores varied widely between clinics and between order entry categories (e.g., a low of 3% for drug monitoring and high of 100% for drug-allergy).
