A shared decision-making tool for drug interactions between warfarin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: design and usability study.
Exposure to life-threatening drug-drug interactions (DDIs) occurs despite the widespread use of clinical decision support. The DDI between warfarin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is common and potentially life-threatening. Patients can play a substantial role in preventing harm from DDIs; however, the current model for DDI decision-making is clinician centric. This study aimed to design and examine the usability of DDInteract, a tool to support shared decision-making (SDM) between a patient and provider for the DDI between warfarin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Surgical skill can be objectively measured from fluoroscopic images using a novel image-based Decision Error Analysis (IDEA) score.
This study introduces and evaluates a novel Image-based Decision Error Analysis (IDEA) score that captures performance during fluoroscopically assisted wire navigation. Findings showed that the fluoroscopic images obtained in the course of placing a guide wire contained a rich amount of information related to surgical skill. The IDEA scoring provided a basis for evaluating the competence of a resident. The score can be used to assess skill at key timepoints throughout residency, such as when rotating onto/off of a new surgical service and before performing certain procedures in the operating room, or as a tool for debriefing/providing feedback after a procedure is completed.
