Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) plus Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA)

Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) refers to the process of providers entering and sending treatment instructions - including medication, laboratory, and radiology orders - via a computer application rather than paper, fax, or telephone. The bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) is a system that consists of a bar code reader, a portable or desktop computer with wireless connection, a computer server, and some software. Before the administration of medications to the patients the patient unique barcode identification is scanned in order to verify the patient's identity.
