The effect of a computerized prescribing and calculating system on hypo- and hyperglycemias and on prescribing time efficiency in neonatal intensive care patients.
Prescribing glucose requires complex calculations because glucose is present in parenteral and enteral nutrition and drug vehicles, making it error prone and contributing to the burden of prescribing errors. ⋯ CPOE including a special CDS tool preserved accuracy for calculation and control of glucose intake and increased prescribing time efficiency.
