Maximizing Physician Adoption Of Order Sets And Point Of Care Decision Support

When properly integrated into clinical workflows, electronic order sets, CPOE and other clinical decision support tools have been shown to reduce adverse events, improve patient care and safety, speed patient throughput and increase a healthcare provider organization’s return on its investment in health information technology.

Unfortunately, these technology tools often suffer the same fate as electronic health records (EHRs) and other clinical information systems: end user rejection, resulting in an estimated 50 percent failure rate.

The problem is not only clinician resistance, but also that software is typically developed by engineers who are not familiar with physician workflows or the clinical context in which the application will be used. The software works from a technical standpoint, but not from a clinical one.
