The American College of Medical Informatics is pleased to present the following debate at the AMIA 2001 Closing Session:
Resolved
Mandating physician order entry portends greater benefit than risk for health care delivery.
Abstract
Recognizing the increasingly well-documented benefits of physician order entry (POE), a number of groups have recommended mandating its use. Likewise, individual healthcare delivery systems are choosing to mandate use of POE within their organizations. There are, however, only a few examples of healthcare delivery systems that have successfully deployed POE, and the financial and credibility risks of failing are substantial. Therefore, we must weigh the benefits of POE against the risks associated with mandating its use.

Wednesday, November 7
1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Marriott Ballroom Salon 2, Lobby Level
The 2001 Morris F. Collen Award of Excellence will be presented to co-recipients Howard L. Bleich, MD and Warner V. Slack, MD at the AMIA 2001 Closing Session. Drs. Bleich and Slack are co-presidents of the Center for Clinical Computing at Harvard Medical School.
Howard L. Bleich, MD
Howard L. Bleich, MD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, received his bachelor’s degree from George Washington University in Washington, DC, and his medical degree from Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
A nephrologist by training, Dr. Bleich began work with computers in medicine in 1968, when he developed a computer-based consultation program to evaluate electrolyte and acid-based disorders. Dr. Bleich was the Principal Investigator of the research that produced PaperChase, a self-service bibliographic retrieval program that permits physicians and scientists to search the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE and other databases of references to biomedical literature.
His interests include computer-based consultation, computerized bibliographic retrieval, and hospital information systems. He was a founding fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics.
Warner V. Slack, MD
Warner V. Slack, MD received his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, his medical degree from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, and his residency training in neurology at the University of Wisconsin. His early work in computer-based medical interviewing at the University of Wisconsin led to the development of the first computer-based medical history. Over the past 25 years he has done extensive research in the field of patient-computer dialogue and he was an early advocate of the patient’s right to participate in decisions about diagnosis and treatment.
During the past 15 years, Dr. Slack and his colleagues at the Center for Clinical Computing, Harvard Medical School, have developed, implemented, and evaluated an integrated, hospital-wide clinical computing system (the “CCC system”) which is used in patient care at Boston’s Beth Israel and Brigham and Women’s Hospitals.
