Introduction: The addition of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) to Emergency Departments in recent years has led to speculation over potential benefits and pitfalls. Recent studies have shown benefits to CPOE, though there lacks sufficient evidence on how it could change physician behaviour. Physician practices are known to be difficult to change, with getting evidence into daily practice being the main challenge of knowledge translation. Our study aims were to determine if well-designed electronic order sets for CPOE improved MD practices. Methods: The Calgary Zone Pain Management in the Emergency Department Working Group relied on a GRADE-based literature review for identifying best practices for analgesia and antiemetics, resulting in soft changes to the dedicated analgesia and antiemetic electronic order set noting working group preference, and emphasizing hydromorphone over morphine, as well as 4 mg ondansetron over 8 mg. The new electronic order set was started in the only Calgary Region order entry system on December 11th, 2014. Data was collected from July 2014 - May 2015. A Yates chi-squared analysis was completed on all orders in a category, as well as the subgroups of ED staff and residents, and orders placed using the new order set. Results: A total of 100460 orders were analyzed. The use of hydromorphone increased significantly across all 4 EDs. IV hydromorphone use increased (5.82% of all opioid orders up to 26.93%, P<0.0001) with a reciprocal decline in IV morphine (67.81% of all opioid orders down to 46.56%, P<0.0001). Similar effects were observed with ondansetron 4 mg IV orders increasing (1.37% of all ondansetron orders to 18.64%, P<0.0001) with a decrease in 8 mg dosing (15.75% of all ondansetron orders to 7.23%, P<0.0001). These results were replicated to a lesser degree in the non-ED staff and non-order set subgroups. Implementation of the new order set resulted in an increase of its use (37.64% of all opioid orders up to 49.29%, P<0.0001). Finally, a cost-savings analysis was completed showing a projected annual savings of $185,676.52 on medications alone. Conclusion: This data supports the manipulation of electronic order sets to help shape physician behaviour towards best practices. This provides another strong argument towards the benefits of CPOE, and can help maintain best practices in Emergency Medicine.

Abstract Background The use of facility-specific guidelines and clinical decision-making tools are recommended by a number of organizations to improve the appropriateness of empiric antimicrobial prescribing; however, how to increase usage is not clear. We evaluated the impact of embedding antimicrobial stewardship (AS) electronic order sets (EOS) into the general medicine admission EOS in the context of an established AS program. Methods The standalone EOS for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), urinary tract infection (UTI) and cellulitis were reviewed and simplified to only include the antibiotic section prior to embedding. The intervention was introduced on March 30, 2017 with pre-intervention period defined as January 1, 2016 to March 29, 2017 and post-intervention period as of March 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The primary outcome was the change in usage of embedded AS EOS compared with the corresponding standalone EOS using counts. In addition, other standalone AS EOS (i.e., Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), etc) were used as a control. The secondary outcomes were the change in antibiotic usage de-emphasized in embedded EOS (i.e., ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, moxifloxacin) and predicted prescribing shifts to antibiotics in the embedded EOS (i.e., amoxicillin-clavulanate, azithromycin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim) using Days of Therapy (DOT)/1000 patient-days (PD). Paired t-test was used to compare antibiotic usage pre- and post-intervention. Results The usage of standalone EOS remained similar pre- and post-intervention except for a 16-fold increased usage of CDI EOS. There were large increases in uptake of the embedded EOS compared with the standalone EOS: 11-fold () increase for CAP, 47-fold () increase for UTI and 24-fold () increase for cellulitis. In addition, there was a statistically significant decrease in ciprofloxacin (mean 16.6 DOT/1000-PD vs. 13.6 DOT/1000-PD, P = 0.026) and moxifloxacin usage (mean 9.3 DOT/1000-PD vs. 5.2 DOT/1000-PD) during the study time period. Conclusion Our study showed that simplifying AS EOS and embedding these into a more commonly used EOS is associated with a significant increase in EOS usage and uptake of AS recommended empiric antibiotics with a decrease in fluoroquinolone usage.

Purpose: Use of oral chemotherapy is expanding and offers advantages while posing unique safety challenges. ASCO and the Oncology Nursing Society jointly published safety standards for administering chemotherapy that offer a framework for improving oral chemotherapy practice at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. Methods: With the goal of improving safety, quality, and uniformity within our oral chemotherapy practice, we conducted a gap analysis comparing our practice against ASCO/Oncology Nursing Society guidelines. Areas for improvement were addressed by multidisciplinary workgroups that focused on education, workflows, and information technology. Recommendations and process changes included defining chemotherapy, standardizing patient and caregiver education, mandating the use of comprehensive electronic order sets, and standardizing documentation for dose modification. Revised processes allow pharmacists to review all orders for oral chemotherapy, and they support monitoring adherence and toxicity by using a library of scripted materials. Results: Between August 2015 and January 2016, revised processes were implemented across the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center clinics. The following are key performance indicators: 92.5% of oral chemotherapy orders (n = 1,216) were initiated within comprehensive electronic order sets (N = 1,315), 89.2% compliance with informed consent was achieved, 14.7% of orders (n = 193) required an average of 4.4 minutes review time by the pharmacist, and 100% compliance with first-cycle monitoring of adherence and toxicity was achieved. Conclusion: We closed significant gaps between institutional practice and published standards for our oral chemotherapy practice and experienced steady improvement and sustainable performance in key metrics. We created an electronic definition of oral chemotherapies that allowed us to leverage our electronic health records. We believe our tools are broadly applicable.
