Kaiser Permanente integrated computer-based patient records (CPR) with direct physician order entry to embed clinical guidelines. This approach effectively reduced unnecessary variation and costs while improving care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Informatics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Kaiser Permanente Northwest implemented a comprehensive outpatient computer-based patient record (CPR) system.
  • The system supports electronic ordering, documentation, coding, messaging, and referrals for 440,000 members.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe methods for embedding clinical guidelines into the CPR ordering process.
  • To demonstrate the impact of these methods on care delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Direct physician order-entry within the CPR system.
  • Integration of evidence-based guidelines into electronic ordering workflows.
  • System-wide implementation across an entire membership.

Main Results:
