Community hospital physician adoption of a CPOE system: perceptions of readiness, usefulness, and satisfaction.

Successful adoption of commercial computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems remains low. This is particularly troublesome in community hospitals where the bulk of health care is provided in the United States. The purpose of this poster is to report survey findings from a study conducted with community hospital physicians participating in a pilot CPOE system implementation. Variables assessed were perceptions of readiness (pre-implementation) and usefulness and satisfaction (post implementation).
