Presenting multiple drug alerts in an ambulatory electronic prescribing system: a usability study of novel prototypes.
OBJECTIVE This study explores alternative approaches to the display of drug alerts, and examines whether and how human-factors based interface design can be used to improve the prescriber's perception about drug alert presentation, signal detection from noisy alert data, and their comprehension of clinical decision support during electronic prescribing. METHODS We reviewed issues with present...
متن کاملApplication of Information Technology: Improving Acceptance of Computerized Prescribing Alerts in Ambulatory Care
Computerized drug prescribing alerts can improve patient safety, but are often overridden because of poor specificity and alert overload. Our objective was to improve clinician acceptance of drug alerts by designing a selective set of drug alerts for the ambulatory care setting and minimizing workflow disruptions by designating only critical to high-severity alerts to be interruptive to clinici...

BACKGROUND Electronic prescribing systems with decision support may improve patient safety in ambulatory care by offering drug allergy and drug interaction alerts. However, preliminary studies show that clinicians override most of these alerts. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 233 537 medication safety alerts generated by 2872 clinicians in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Penns...

j J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2006;13:5–11. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M1868. Computerized prescribing applications that embed clinical decision support systems (CDSS) within computerized provider order entry reduce medication error rates both by structuring prescriptions and by checking them for potential problems such as drug interactions, allergies, and other issues. If a potential problem is found, the C...
متن کاملImproving patient safety through computerized drug management: the devil is in the details.
Electronic prescribing and computerized drug management can improve the safety, quality and cost-effectiveness of prescribing. However, if the problems that lead to avoidable adverse events are not addressed by information technology, there is a risk of making considerable investment without the expected return of error reduction and improved patient safety. Improving the safety of prescribing ...
