When computerized physician order entry systems (CPOE) are introduced there is a general expectation that the system can reduce medical errors and make work flow more efficient. This study asks why potential security problems continue despite intentions in CPOE. 

The study shows how the organisation focus on implementation and forget to analyse potential adverse drug effects, and how hidden elements has influence on work flow and security.

The conclusion is that there is a need for more socio technical studies that can enlighten how CPOE work in medical practice and someone who has responsibility to secure focus on improving security and efficiency.
