Notification of real-time clinical alerts generated by pharmacy expert systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed and implemented a strategy for notifying clinical pharmacists of alerts generated in real-time by two pharmacy expert systems: one for drug dosing and the other for adverse drug event prevention. Display pagers were selected as the preferred notification method and a concise, yet readable, format for displaying alert data was developed. This combination of real-time alert generation and notification via display pagers was shown to be efficient and effective in a 30-day trial.

Asynchronous Pharmacy Decision Support Within a Multi-Institutional Telemedicine Infrastructure
Our health system does not yet have physician order entry to facilitate synchronous pharmacy decision support. To fill a needed gap to screen drug orders, we leveraged an enterprise clinical data repository to develop and implement two asynchronous, rule-based expert systems for screening drug dosage regimens and drug-drug interactions (DoseChecker and PharmADE, respectively). Originally deploy...
متن کاملReal-Time intrusion detection alert correlation and attack scenario extraction based on the prerequisite consequence approach
Alert correlation systems attempt to discover the relations among alerts produced by one or more intrusion detection systems to determine the attack scenarios and their main motivations. In this paper a new IDS alert correlation method is proposed that can be used to detect attack scenarios in real-time. The proposed method is based on a causal approach due to the strength of causal methods in ...
متن کاملPractical considerations in the use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring alerts.
BACKGROUND The safety and efficacy of real-time (RT) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems in the management of type 1 diabetes are increasingly apparent. Clinical trials have demonstrated the utility of these systems in lowering hemoglobin A1c, minimizing hypoglycemia, and reducing glycemic variability. These RT systems allow patients to conveniently monitor their glucose levels by displ...

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems link patient data with an electronic knowledge base in order to improve decision-making and computerised physician order entry (CPOE) is a requirement to set up electronic CDS. The medical informatics literature suggests categorising CDS tools into medication dosing support, order facilitators, point-of-care alerts and reminders, relevant information disp...
متن کاملTesting modes of computerized sepsis alert notification delivery systems
BACKGROUND The number of electronic health record (EHR)-based notifications continues to rise. One common method to deliver urgent and emergent notifications (alerts) is paging. Despite of wide presence of smartphones, the use of these devices for secure alerting remains a relatively new phenomenon. METHODS We compared three methods of alert delivery (pagers, EHR-based notifications, and smar...
