In 2018 the VA piloted the University of Utah EHR Flight Simulator CPOE evaluation tool at three hospitals to assess medication ordering safety and found it insightful, but too time and resource intensive to scale across all 130 hospitals on a recurring basis. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using Electronic Health Record data to automate and scale CPOE evaluation across the enterprise as a more efficient and sensitive alternative to simulation using fewer resources.

Learning Objective: Describe how EHR data can be used to evaluate CPOE safety at scale across a healthcare enterprise using less time and fewer resources than simulated order entry.
