Creating Meaningful Alerts and Reducing Alert Fatigue: Strategies Implemented by Informatics Pharmacists to Optimize Dose Range Checking Alerts in a Multihospital Health System.

Among the many clinical decision support (CDS) mechanisms available in electronic health record (EHR) systems, dose range checking (DRC) is one of the most impactful safeguard tools integrated within most computerized provider order entry (CPOE) workflows. Unfortunately, improper configurations and lack of resources to maintain and monitor CDS systems can hinder and even disrupt daily clinical operations. This article seeks to highlight the impact that informatics pharmacists can make by implementing different strategies to decrease nuisance alerts and create clinically meaningful DRC alerts that guide clinicians in their practice.
