Leading authorities in healthcare agree that two information technology (IT) trends will significantly impact the industry's future: Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) systems, and mobile technologies such as handheld devices. Because these two trends are concurrent, IT vendors, hospitals, and clinicians are simply merging them into a logical convergence - "CPOE on a handheld" - with an expectation of full functionality on all platforms: computer workstations, rolling laptops, tablet PCs, and handheld devices. For these trends to succeed together, however, this expectation must be revised to establish a distinct category - mobile physician order entry (MPOE) - that is different from CPOE in form, function, and implementation.
