• Consensus Recommendations for Basic Monitoring and Evaluation
  

  Implementing CPOE? Worried about whether you are making progress, or experiencing unintended adverse consequences that you don't know about? Then read POET's "Consensus Recommendations for Basic Monitoring and Evaluation." POET has drafted sample measures for four main categories of metrics: availability and use, utilization and efficiency, quality, and hazard, or unintended consequence indicators. By regularly monitoring key measures, this tool will help you optimize your CPOE implementation. Remember, you get what you measure!

• POET Treemaps
  

  Learn how POET's "Considerations for Successful CPOE Implementation" may help you avoid unintended adverse consequences (UACs). POET has analyzed a wide range of unintended consequences and categorized them according to the considerations that might help avoid each one. This tool will help you plan for CPOE implementation by giving you questions to consider, and by explaining what might go wrong if you fail to consider them fully.

  The treemaps help visualize which considerations are most important. For instance, those considerations that address the most UACs will be represented by larger boxes and darker colors. Click here to learn more.
  
  

• CPOE Bibliography
  

  Electronic database searches were conducted in September 2005 for dates 1993 through 2005 including Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, BIOSIS, and all EBM reviews (which includes the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the American College of Physicians [ACP] Journal Club, the Database of Abstracts of Reviews, and Effects and the Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials). This search was not limited to peer-reviewed journals and did not reject letters or editorials, a priori, since many such responses contain insight.

  Bibliographies of documents in the search sets were reviewed for possible additions. In addition, Web-of-Science (Thomson) was searched for references to some included articles. For more information and to search the bibliography, click here.
