Evolution of Computerized Provider Order Entry Documentation at a Leading Tertiary Care Referral Center in Riyadh.

ABSTRACT: Background: Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) systems are critical for medication safety, but their effectiveness relies heavily on the completeness of entered data. Incomplete clinical and anthropometric information can disable Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs), compromising patient safety. Objective: This study aimed to assess the longitudinal evolution of CPOE data completeness, specifically focusing on "Breadth Completeness" (the presence of essential clinical variables), and to identify factors predicting data integrity in a tertiary care setting. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a 500-bed tertiary referral center in Riyadh. Data were extracted from the Cerner Millennium CPOE system for three "steady-state" years (2015
