Workflow, Time Requirement, and Quality of Medication Documentation with or without a Computerized Physician Order Entry System-A Simulation-Based Lab Study.

 This study revealed that CPOE implementation simplified the medication documentation process but increased the time spent on medication documentation by 20% in two fictitious cases. This increased time resulted in higher documentation quality, occurred at the expense of physicians, and was primarily due to intravenous/subcutaneous prescriptions. Therefore, measures to support physicians with complex prescriptions in the CPOE system should be established.
