To realize the greatest benefits from computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems requires incorporation of clinical decision support (CDS) capabilities. Discussions at a conference on CDS in CPOE held in San Francisco, California, June, 21-22, 2005 produced several papers in this issue of JAMIA. The first paper reviews CDS for electronic prescribing within CPOE systems (1); the second describes current controversies regarding creation, maintenance, and uses of CPOE order sets for CDS (2); and the third presents issues related to certification as a potential means of validating CPOE systems for widespread use (3). This manuscript summarizes all of the discussions at the meeting, and provides a pragmatically oriented view of how to implement CPOE with CDS.
