ABSTRACT. Objective. In response to the landmark1999 report by the Institute of Medicine and safety initi-atives promoted by the Leapfrog Group, our institutionimplemented a commercially sold computerized physi-cian order entry (CPOE) system in an effort to reducemedical errors and mortality. We sought to test the hy-pothesis that CPOE implementation results in reducedmortality among children who are transported for spe-cialized care. Methods. Demographic, clinical, and mortality datawere collected of all children who were admitted viainterfacility transport to our regional, academic, tertiary-care level children’s hospital during an 18-month period.A commercially sold CPOE program that operated withinthe framework of a general, medical-surgical clinical ap-plication platform was rapidly implemented hospital-wide over 6 days during this period. Retrospective anal-yses of pre-CPOE and post-CPOE implementation timeperiods (13 months before and 5 months after CPOEimplementation) were subsequently performed.
