Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems can prevent medication ordering and dispensing errors. This pre-post study compared medication safety outcomes for paper-based prescribing versus CPOE-based prescribing among pediatric patients at one German hospital. The researchers found that CPOE implementation resulted in fewer potentially harmful medication errors.
