Computerized physician order entry

When you go visit the doctor, they usually write down what they think is wrong with you and what medicine you need to take. They used to write this down on paper, but now they have something called a computerized physician order entry.

This is a special computer program that helps the doctor write down what they think is wrong with you and what medicine you need to take. Instead of using a pen and paper, they use a computer to type in all the information.

This computer program helps the doctor know if they are giving you the right medicine, and it also makes sure that the dose is correct so you don't take too much or too little. It also helps the doctor keep track of all the medicines you are taking so they don't accidentally give you something that might not work well with a medicine you are already taking.

This computer system helps keep you safe and healthy by making sure you get the right medicine in the right amount. So, when you go visit the doctor, don't be surprised if they use a computer to help them write down what you need to feel better!
