Prevent Medication Errors with Care Planning & CPOE Tools : McKesson Corporate

Inconsistent and ineffective interdisciplinary communication is the most common contributing factor to medication errors, sentinel events and near misses. As health care becomes more complex and multiple caregivers for each patient becomes more common, healthcare organizations struggle to create an integrated, collaborative environment. Especially challenging is communication and care planning across disciplines, care settings and systems.

McKesson delivers computerized physician order entry (CPOE) tools and other solutions that help facilitate care planning and timely and shared communication across all members of the care team. These solutions help reduce the likelihood of miscommunication that could compromise patient safety and lead to medication errors.
