Alert fatigue limits the effectiveness of medication safety alerts, a type of computerized clinical decision support (CDS). Researchers have suggested alternative interactive designs, as well as tailoring alerts to clinical roles. As examples, alerts may be tiered to convey risk, and certain alerts may be sent to pharmacists. We aimed to evaluate which variants elicit less alert fatigue.

The study sought to develop and evaluate an electronic health record-based child abuse clinical decision support system in 2 general emergency departments.

This study tested validity, accuracy, and efficiency of the Orthopaedic Minimal Data Set Episode of Care (OME) compared with traditional operative report in arthroscopic surgery for shoulder instability.

The study sought to identify barriers to and facilitators of point-of-care information seeking and use of knowledge resources.

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) implementing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have 2 main limitations: they target only patients for whom CPGs provide explicit recommendations, and their rationale may be difficult to understand. These 2 limitations result in poor CDSS adoption. We designed AntibioHelp® as a CDSS for antibiotic treatment. It displays the recommended and nonrecommended antibiotics, together with their properties, weighted by degree of importance as outlined in the CPGs [...]

This study aimed to develop a novel, regulatory-compliant approach for openly exposing integrated clinical and environmental exposures data: the Integrated Clinical and Environmental Exposures Service (ICEES).

We assess working relationships and collaborations within and between diabetes health care provider teams using social network analysis and a multi-scale community detection.

This study sought to quantify the association between event notifications and subsequent query-based health information exchange (HIE) use among end users of three different community health information organizations.
