Good stuff. I had the honor to work with Eric on a Medication Reconciliation project at Partners. He is fantastic.

Bar code eMAR versus CPOE
HospitalRx (see Twitter for more) continues his delusional exuberance that bar code eMAR will change the world.
While I have faith, the science is still lacking. The view that CPOE has far greater evidence is shared by Eric Poon in the recordings above.
Clearly CPOE takes more work but has better outcomes for patients. My sixth grade piano teacher taught me that nothing of value comes easy. That is why CPOE is in Meaningful Use and not the feel good easier thing to do.
