Abstract

Altering the appearance of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) interface reduces misuse of an HIV diagnostic test by 87%, demonstrating that CPOE design is a key component of diagnostic stewardship. Collaboration between infectious disease providers, clinical laboratorians, and information technology (IT) professionals can result in improved quality and decreased costs.
