What is the intended outcome of using the Computerized Physician Order functionality?

The intended outcome of using the Computerized Physician Order functionality is to streamline the ordering of medications and tests. This system allows physicians to electronically submit orders, which enhances communication between healthcare providers and reduces the potential for errors that can occur with handwritten orders. By centralizing the ordering process, it facilitates quicker access to necessary medications and diagnostic tests, ultimately improving patient care. The streamlined process also allows for real-time updates and greater coordination among various departments within the healthcare facility, enhancing operational efficiency.

While other options like improved patient education or enhanced patient monitoring are important aspects of healthcare delivery, they are not directly the primary focus of the Computerized Physician Order functionality. The system's core purpose revolves around optimizing how orders for medications and tests are processed, thereby directly impacting the workflow surrounding patient treatment.
