Order sets make the Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) process easier and more efficient for physicians by grouping medication, nursing, and consult orders related to a particular condition or procedure, e.g., an admission order set could contain orders for vital signs, Clear Liquid Diet, and morphine 2 mg IV PRN for severe pain.
Each order set contains some pre-selected orders for medications, labs, etc. Physicians can pick and choose which orders to include. Order details can easily be changed before the orders are signed electronically in the In-Box. Physicians can access In-Box from any location with an Internet connection.
The CPOE order sets are created by physicians and caregivers from each service line. A multidisciplinary team from nursing, pharmacy, radiology, and lab reviews order sets for clinical accuracy and appropriateness. Order sets undergo a final review by physician champions from each service line and the Medical Staff Office's Quality Management team.
