Although the physician’s satisfaction score was 5.30±1.54, which was greater than that of nurses (4.56±2.19), this differences was not significant (P>0.05). Results also showed a significant relationship between the user satisfaction score and age and gender of the participants (P=0.001, P=0.006) respectively.A significant relationship was found between the CPOE user friendliness and age (P=0.05). Conclusion: Overall, there is a relative satisfaction among the physicians and nurses about CPOE in Namazi hospital. Hospital managers could accelerate the use of CPOE in hospitals.
