Information needs for making clinical recommendations about potential drug-drug interactions: a synthesis of literature review and interviews.
To better understand the information needs and work practices of specialists who search and synthesize potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) evidence for drug information resources, the researchers conducted an inquiry that combined a thematic analysis of published literature with unstructured interviews. Their review of 92 papers and 10 interviews identified 56 categories of information needs related to the interpretation of PDDI information including drug and interaction information, study design and evidence including clinical details.

Clinical reasoning in the context of active decision support during medication prescribing.
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze reasoning patterns of clinicians responding to drug-drug interaction alerts in order to understand the role of patient-specific information in the decision-making process about the risks and benefits of medication therapy. The investigators found that declining an alert suggestion was preceded by sometimes brief but often complex reasoning, prioritizing different aspects of care quality and safety, especially when the perceived risk was higher.
