AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2006:2006:1108.

Abstract

Order sets have been used to make evidence-based guidelines actionable at the point of care with evidence of improved outcomes. In order to understand the impact evidence-based order sets might have on patients and providers at Vanderbilt, it is important to understand current and past use of order sets. This study examined ordering patterns over a 6-year period and results are reported.
