Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) aims to improve patient safety and reduce costs through preventing errors. CPOE systems allow doctors to directly enter medication orders into a computer system to help catch errors related to allergies, dosages, or contraindications. This prevents transcription errors and helps ensure patients receive the right medications. CPOE systems also aim to reduce duplicate orders and denials or delays in reimbursement due to data errors.
