Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) is an electronic/computerized system that allows physicians to enter patient care orders directly into the oneChart/Cerner system from home, the office, or any computer in the hospital. The CPOE Physician Portal provides physicians the latest information on the CPOE implementation at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare.

Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center is the latest facility to implement the oneChart system. Methodist North Hospital completed transition and CPOE will continue to be rolled out to all Methodist hospitals in 2009.

Research indicates that the implementation of CPOE can help reduce medication errors and improve patient care and outcomes.
