Medication ordering error rates are the most common preventable medication errors. CPOE has improved safety in drug ordering. CPOE has resulted in a decrease in nephrotoxic drug dosing. Kaushal et al performed a systematic review of safety resulting from use of CPOEs. They concluded that most studies were underpowered and used institutional based systems. However, there was a substantial decrease in serious medication error rates, antibiotic-associated medication errors, adverse drug events, improvements in prescribing behaviors and nephrotoxic drug dosing. Teich et al evaluated CPOEs and determined that computer prompts for dosing and frequency for medications led to fewer provider errors and increased patient safety.
