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.

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.

Objectives: Technology-related prescribing errors curtail the positive impacts of computerised provider order entry (CPOE) on medication safety. Understanding how technology-related errors (TREs) occur can inform CPOE optimisation. Previously, we developed a classification of the underlying mechanisms of TREs using prescribing error data from two adult hospitals.
