Challenges of creating a one-size-fits-all oncology CPOE application.

Since August 1996, the oncology clinicians at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have been using an in-house developed CPOE system to order chemotherapy for their adult population. While the pediatric chemotherapy ordering remained on paper until November 2003, designing the pediatric chemotherapy functionality into the existing CPOE product proved to be very challenging. It was helpful in one sense because there was an existing framework that was familiar to everyone. It was also restrictive, in the sense that it is hard to enhance it without impacting others already using the same system.

The evolution and implementation of a pediatric computerized order entry system: a case study.

Implementing CPOE is not an easy undertaking. Designing and implementing a pediatric-focused CPOE presented a unique challenge because of the age and weight considerations inherent with a pediatric patient population. Through the experiences involved in an implementation, key elements of a successful implementation include high-level sponsorship, involvement of clinicians up-front in the process, excellent communication and round-the-clock support. When everyone works together with common objectives, milestones are met, and goals are realized.
