Workflow Details: Best Practices for Implementing CPOE

Tuesday, July 26, 2011, noon - 1:00 pm CT

Implementing computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is one of the more difficult tasks in implementing an electronic health record (EHR). Successful CPOE implementation involves all members of the team. This webinar will discuss the processes that REACH staff have found valuable in CPOE implementation and will give attendees a clear roadmap on how to implement CPOE at their sites. Though we will focus mainly on implementations in the hospital setting, we will also provide information that will be valuable to clinics.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Identify all the steps involved in successful CPOE implementation
• Recognize the role that each individual on the care team plays in the successful design and implementation of CPOE
• Recognize that successful CPOE implementations require ongoing maintenance and support

Who should attend

Administrators, CEOs, CIOs/IT staff, DoN/nursing staff, physician/providers, and project managers.
