Rapid adoption of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems has led to debate around their reported benefits. This study conducted a detailed quantitative analysis, following a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), and concluded that such analyses are necessary to guide continuous improvement efforts at ensuring CPOE systems do improve safety.
