Use of computerized provider order entry events for postoperative complication surveillance.
The purpose of this study was to determine if a surveillance system using computerized provider order entry (CPOE) events for selected medications as well as laboratory, microbiologic, and radiologic orders can decrease the manual medical record review burden for surveillance of postoperative complications. Results showed that a CPOE-based surveillance of postoperative complications has high negative predictive value, demonstrating that this approach can augment the currently used, resource-intensive manual medical record review process.
