Abstract
An electronic physician'"'"'s order sheet (EPOS) provides means for a physician to select or enter diagnoses and to automatically receive suggestions for medications and treatments. The physician can select from amongst the suggestions, select alternate medications and treatments, or input and select different medications or treatments. The EPOS can alert the physician to possible drug interactions, allergic reactions, or other alarming situations. The physician can then sign the EPOS to formally issue orders for treatment and medications. The EPOS can be integrated with billing systems, pharmacy systems, and other systems to help automate the processes of drug delivery, invoicing, and patient care.
