A juxtaposition error is an error that results from the "position' of elements.

It is often used to describe errors in the medical field that occur because of Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) interfaces. For example, if a healthcare provider wants to order a lab test for a patient, they might accidentally click on a lab test next to the desired test on the CPOE screen. As another example, there may be two patients with the same or similar names, and providers might choose the wrong patient because of their proximity in the electronic system.
