Medication-related clinical decision support alert overrides in inpatients.
This study examined the use of medical-related clinical decision support alert overrides by clinicians in hospital inpatient settings. Overall, almost three-quarters of alerts were overridden, with 40% of them not being appropriate. The majority of overrides dealing with duplicate drug, patient allergy or formulary substitution alerts were appropriate but very few for renal- or age-based were. The authors concluded that research should be done to optimize alert types and frequencies to reduce alarm fatigue.
