The Physician Order Entry Team (POET) is based in the Department of Medical informatics and Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). It consists of representatives from a variety of healthcare-related disciplines. Membership of the team varies over time, but all members use research methods which consist of cross-site comparisons using multiple qualitative and quantitative data-gathering techniques to assess implementation issues regarding POE. The team won the first annual AMIA Diana Forsythe Award in 2000 for their paper "Multiple Perspectives on Physician Order Entry."
