New Leapfrog Report: A Call to Action on Improving the Safety of Computerized Prescribing Systems

Nearly all of the hospitals improved their performance after adjusting their systems and protocols and running the simulation a second time. The simulations were conducted from June 2008 to January 2010.

The CPOE simulation is part of the annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey. According to Leapfrog, 26% of the 1244 hospitals that completed the survey in 2009 report having a CPOE system in at least one inpatient department. The Health Information & Management Systems Society notes that thousands more are in various stages of adopting or planning for these complex systems. Hospital critics have long criticized the field for being too slow to adopt technology to improve care and save money. With about two-thirds of hospitals either losing money or existing on minimal margins, many say they need help to bring the technology to their communities.

"The federal government must exercise leadership here, because lives are at stake," stated Leapfrog Chairman David Knowlton, President and CEO of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute. "As they define meaningful use as a standard for federal funding assis
