How does a patient whose care is rendered at a physician's office with computerized physician order entry capability benefit? Give an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Clinical decision support is built in. Medications that are ordered that may interfere with other medications (or allergies) the patient is taking (or is allergic to) are flagged. Dosage limits are flagged. For nonmedication orders, for instance an x-ray, the order can be sent electronically to the hospital radiology department and the results electronically sent back to the ordering physician in a more timely manner. There are no legibility issues.
