Project Purpose: BayCare Health System’s
overall I.S. strategic plan is to create an
Electronic Health Record (EHR) to enable the
transformation of care delivery and business
practices throughout BayCare and the community
we serve. A subsystem of the EMR is the implementation
of a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
system; the system will use rules and clinical
knowledge-based information to improve clinical
processes and reduce errors. This will support
reduction of medication errors and subsequent
adverse drug events by decreasing transcription,
dispensing and drug administration errors, and
providing physicians with warnings about drug
interactions.
Outcomes Expected: Medication
errors will be reduced by flagging unusual doses,
universally noting patient allergies, and displaying
key lab values influencing medication dosing.
Number and type of errors (measure). Duplicate
orders will be reduced by increased online availability
of previous encounter information. Number of
duplicate orders (measure). Utilization of the
clinical system rules engine and corresponding
patient alerts will enable prospective management
of critical findings and automate routine protocols.
Number of adverse drug events (measure). Rules
engine (tool). Time available for direct patient
care will increase with online documentation
systems for clinicians. Increase Patient Satisfaction,
Quality Data Management scores (tool).

about cancer clinical trials that patients can
print and discuss with their physicians. Florida
residents who do not have Internet access or
who prefer one-on-one assistance can obtain
the same information by calling a toll-free
number.
Outcomes Expected: Maintain
and expand clinical trials information system—Report
Data Files. Promote availability of database—Participant
evaluation data, Report Data Files, Focus groups.

populations—Report Data Files, training
reports. Clinical trials tracking system—Tracking
system data, Participant feedback.
