Abstract

An automated practitioner order entry system was recently implemented at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. Since the introduction of this system, we have experienced various problems, among them an increase in time required for practitioners to enter orders. In order to improve usability and acceptance of the order entry, an alternate pathway was built within CPRS that allows direct natural language based order entry. Implementation of the extension in CPRS has been made possible because of the three layers CPRS architecture and its strong object oriented models. This paper discusses the advantages and needs for a natural language based order entry system and its implementation within an existing order entry system.
