Sunday, February 16, 2003The CPOE system also was cumbersome and didn't follow physician workflow, said Dr. Uman, who helped organize physician opposition. To order an antibiotic, for example, doctors had to go through three or four different screens and wait six to eight seconds between screens. "For somebody ... who has 15 to 20 patients in the hospital, when you add three or four minutes per order or five to 10 minutes per patient, that comes up to two or three hours of extra time a day," Dr. Uman said. Yikes. If only computer systems worked as reliably and as quickly in real life as they do on TV. posted by Sydney on 2/16/2003 08:34:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
