Does anyone know where I can find information on CPOE?

[edit] External link to TM software

IP user 87.161.217.56 objects to my deletion of his link to a software company's web site in Iceland, which, among other things, makes hospital software. There is no reference information of any type, except a self serving statement that "Theriak healthcare solution has been installed by leading European hospitals in five countries, enabling savings of up to 20% on medication costs while reducing medication related errors by more than 50%" (that CPOE reduces errors is already stated in the article with a citation to published research data). No data to support Theriak's claim is provided. I did a search on that site for the terms: CPOE (No results), Doctor (opens a page describing the software's functions, again, unreferenced). IP user 87.161.217.56 also tipped his hand by posting his link in bold type, unlike any other links or text in the article. Merely distributing software does not make you a reference source. - Ryanjo 02:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
