Aziz MT, Ur-Rehman T, Qureshi S, Bukhari NI. HIM J. 2015;44:13-22.

This quality improvement study to enhance the safety of chemotherapy was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Investigators found that standardized chemotherapy orders within a computerized provider order entry system were associated with fewer medication errors as well as improved dispensing efficiency compared with the older, paper-based order system.
