Case : Assessing The Value and Impact of CPOE
Discussion Questions
1. How might you evaluate the CPOE implementation process at University Health Care System? Give examples of different methods or strategies you might employ.
2. How would you respond to the board's desire for a "return on investment" from this initiative? Is it a reasonable request? Why or why not?
