As a follow-up to my last post, I thought I'd share one more piece of information. During the Health Affairs health reform briefing, the CEO of the American Hospital Association discussed that group's "Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence" initiative, which we applaud. AHA's nicely designed HPOE website has a great description of a pharmacy-based anticoagulation service. While you're on the site, also check out a case study that explains how computerized provider order entry systems can be used to address the 1 million serious adverse drug reactions that occur annually in U.S. hospitals.
