Beyond CPOE Adoption: Achieving Superior Outcomes

Presentation speaker / title:
Diane Gilbert Bradley, MD, Chief Medical Officer - Eclipsys Corporation

Presentation overview:
How do you convince your physicians to adopt a new computerized physician order entry system? You could try to convince them it’s faster than entering paper orders -- but they know otherwise. You could tell them it won’t change how they practice medicine -- but they know it will. You can even warn them about the consequences of being left behind by technology -- but they know the newest technology isn’t always the most effective. So what can you do? A growing number of healthcare organizations are finding that the most effective technique is to tell the truth. They’re admitting to physicians that it may be tough at first, but that CPOE can lead directly to reduced errors and improved patient care. And physicians are listening. Find out how widespread physician adoption of the latest CPOE systems - equipped with evidence-based clinical decision support and embedded content - are leading to measurable outcomes in reduced errors, faster time to medication administration, and more consistent evidence-based treatment.
