Monthly reports tracking CPOE usage by physicians can encourage adoption by highlighting their contributions to patient safety and quality improvement, especially among those affected by performance-based financial incentives.
Misattributions of order sources can undermine physician confidence and motivation to use CPOE effectively, which could have implications for patient safety and legal matters.
In a study of one hospitalist group, 4.18% of orders were incorrectly attributed, primarily from nursing (42%) and pharmacy (38%), indicating the need for improved order management protocols to maintain accurate CPOE reporting.
