Are CPOE and DDS systems successful solutions? What people, technology, and organization issues are involved in the use of these systems?

CPOE and DDS systems are good solutions for the common mistake of prescription errors, but they are not yet successful enough that every healthcare facility has begun to use them. These systems are still susceptible to technology errors that prevent the system from working to its full potential. CPOE systems must be filled with the hospital’s information by the staff and doctors. They do not come fully equipped and ready to use. The hospital and its staff must make sure the information is placed into the system and constantly updated to ensure the best care for its patients. The system not only aids doctors in trying to make the most accurate decisions possible, but meant to increase the efficiency of the hospital by allowing doctors to look at information on the go without going back to their office or going to a nurse every time they need to check something. Doctors can look up information on laptops instead. The importance of the technology is that it improves the organization of the hospital and helps it run better.
