Application of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement prior to implementing a computerized prescription order entry (CPOE) system in a university hospital oncology clinic
Abstract:Introduction Prior to implementing a new computerized prescription order entry (CPOE) application, the potential risks associated with this system were assessed and compared to those of paper-based prescriptions. The goal of this study is to identify the vulnerabilities of the CPOE process in order to adapt its design and prevent these potential risks. Methods and materials Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) was used as a prospective risk-management technique to evaluate the chemotherapy medication proce… Show more
