Tough love for drug-drug interaction #alerts in the #EHR:
- 96% of 16,011 were overridden
- Inc 193/221 “highest-severity”
- 69% of routine DDI overrides were appropriate!
- 7% of medication administration overrides led to an adverse drug event
Shows impact of alert fatigue!https://twitter.com/DBatesSafety/status/1255949883112112130 …
I can't count the number of times I've accidentally clicked "I'm not the primary nurse" just to close the dumb alerts as fast as possible... the worst are the drop-down menu lists that make you choose between 50 options
