First study actually showing a decrease in mortality with hospital implementation of a CPOE system
An important paper was published online this week in the journal Pediatrics demonstrating for the first time that there was a decrease in hospital-wide mortality after the implementation of a commercial computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system. The research took place at Stanford at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The investigators compared mortality before and after the implementation of an EHR from Cerner. Note that the adult hospital at Stanford uses Epic. The auth

Robert M. Schumacher, Ph.D. said… - Dr. Miller thanks for your thoughts on my post. Indeed there is quite a bit of applied science behind usability that derives from taking what we know about cognitive and perceptual psychology and putting it to work to improve human performance (see, for example, Chris Wickens' seminal book - "Engineering Psychology and Human Performance"). Industries like communications and aviation have hired applied psychologists (aka human factors or engineering psychologists) for over 100 years to improve human performance. In medicine, the application of good human factors has been increasing largely in medical devices (e.g., most infusion pumps undergo rigorous user testing). In IT at large (not Health IT) human factors engineering has been around for decades. Health IT is just waking up to the benefits of user research, user-centered design and rigorous testing. I firmly believe that increased usability = increased adoption of EHRs. The white paper I have in my post lays the outline of how to select a useful and usable EHR - or just come see us at HIMSS at booth (#3382) and we can talk about it.
