Reducing prescribing errors through creatinine clearance alert redesign.
BACKGROUND Literature has shown that computerized creatinine clearance alerts reduce errors during prescribing, and applying human factors principles may further reduce errors. Our objective was to apply human factors principles to creatinine clearance alert design and assess whether the redesigned alerts increase usability and reduce prescribing errors compared with the original alerts. METH...
متن کاملReducing prescribing costs through computer controlled repeat prescribing.
A small reduction in prescribing costs is reported from a general practice that has been using a computer for repeat prescribing for three years. The possible reasons for this are discussed. The information available from the Prescription Pricing Authority (PPA) and from practice workload measurements was found to be inconclusive. An elaboration of the computer-controlled system of repeat presc...
متن کاملCalculation of creatinine clearance from plasma creatinine.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is commonly assessed by measurement of endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr). Several formulae have been described to calculate Ccr from plasma creatinine. I have evaluated the effectiveness of four formulae in 35 healthy subjects (21M and 14F, 18-34 years) and in 41 patients (24M, 17F, 20-69 years) attending a renal clinic with diminished renal function (serum ...
متن کاملReducing false positives in anomaly detectors through fuzzy alert aggregation
In this paper we focus on the aggregation of IDS alerts, an important component of the alert fusion process. We exploit fuzzy measures and fuzzy sets to design simple and robust alert aggregation algorithms. Exploiting fuzzy sets, we are able to robustly state whether or not two alerts are ‘‘close in time”, dealing with noisy and delayed detections. A performance metric for the evaluation of fu...
متن کاملThe assessment of glomerular function: creatinine clearance or plasma creatinine?
Plasma creatinine concentration is superior to creatinine clearance for the detection of abnormal glomerular function, of changes of glomerular function in patients with chronic renal disease. Creatinine clearance should be abandoned as the routine assessment of glomerular function.
