A clinical decision support tool for improving venous thromboembolism risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis prescribing compliance within an electronic medication management system: a retrospective observational study.
Int J Clin Pharm
January 2025
Pharmacy Department, Cabrini Health, 183 Wattletree Road Malvern, Malvern, VIC, 3144, Australia.
Background: Despite various interventions to improve best-practice venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention measures within hospitals, compliance remains poor. For health services utilising electronic medication management systems (eMMS), implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tools could address this gap.
Aim: To evaluate whether local implementation of an integrated electronic alert system linked with a computerised physician order entry (CPOE)-based order set for VTE risk assessment within an eMMS improves the rates of timely VTE risk assessment and guideline-compliant VTE prophylaxis prescribing among hospitalised patients.
Expectations and opinions regarding the implementation of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system - a before-and-after survey.

Despite the documented beneficial effects of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems and despite numerous incentives for their adoption in various countries around the globe implementation teams encounter unexpected difficulties when launching CPOE systems. This survey aimed at gathering users' opinions on CPOE implementation. Additional factors that can be influenced by CPOE implementation were equally considered, namely workplace satisfaction, interprofessional collaboration, patient safety climate, system usability, and organisational readiness to implement change.

, BA, PharmD, ACPR, is with the Department of Pharmacy, Alberta Health Services, Calgary, Alberta.
Background: In Alberta, pharmacists may obtain additional prescribing authorization (APA) and a practice identification number (PRAC-ID) for ordering laboratory tests. Pharmacists working within Alberta Health Services were mandated by the employer to attain APA by 2018, whereas laboratory ordering has been in place since 2009. Five acute care sites within the Calgary Zone had a computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system that allowed tracking of these activities.

Administering medications to patients with documented drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) poses a significant risk for adverse events, ranging from mild reactions to life-threatening incidents. Electronic healthcare systems have revolutionized the modern clinical decision-making process, with built in warnings. However, as these alerts become a routine part of healthcare provider's workflow, alert fatigue becomes a challenge.

Centre for Health Systems and Safety Research, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales 2109, Australia.
Objectives: To examine changes in technology-related errors (TREs), their manifestations and underlying mechanisms at 3 time points after the implementation of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) in an electronic health record; and evaluate the clinical decision support (CDS) available to mitigate the TREs at 5-years post-CPOE.
Materials And Methods: Prescribing errors (n = 1315) of moderate, major, or serious potential harm identified through review of 35 322 orders at 3 time points (immediately, 1-year, and 4-years post-CPOE) were assessed to identify TREs at a tertiary pediatric hospital. TREs were coded using the Technology-Related Error Mechanism classification.
