Key performance indicators (KPI) are indicators of quality and efficiency that are selected based on reporting or operational requirements. Business intelligence (BI) refers to a set of tools that permit capture, storage, and transformation of data into useful and actionable information. Clini-cal decision support (CDS) has been defined as "Health information technology functionality that builds upon the foundation of an EHR to provide persons involved in care processes with general and person—specific information, intelligently filtered and organized, at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care." A subset of EHRs is the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system. Through CPOEs, orders can be electronically transmitted to the EHR, saving time and reducing transcription errors resulting from handwriting clarity issues.
