Computerized drug prescribing alerts can improve patient safety, but are often overridden because of poor specificity and alert overload. We developed a selective knowledge base of only clinically significant drug alerts and designated only critical-high severity alerts to be interruptive to clinician workflow (a tiered approach). Using this approach, we were able to achieve a 67% clinician accept rate for ambulatory computerized prescribing alerts.

Medical Reference Tools and Pharmaceutical Promotion: A History of Entanglement.
Ann Intern Med
December 2024
Department of the History of Science, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts (J.K.K.).
Reference tools are often uncritically accepted as balanced, objective, definitive, and evidence-based guides to medical knowledge. Yet for centuries textbooks and manuals have been entangled in various ways with industry interests. This essay shows how reference tools have served as sites of pharmaceutical promotion.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Introduction: There is a paucity of information regarding providers' attitudes toward gastric-protective strategies with concurrent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We aimed to assess gastric-protective strategies used upon prescribing NSAIDs and providers' awareness of societal guidelines for preventing NSAID-induced gastric complications.
Methods: A standardized 10-item questionnaire was sent to all orthopedic providers in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Background: Low-dose morphine may be prescribed to reduce chronic breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent subjective findings suggest morphine may influence breathlessness through sleep-related mechanisms. However, concerns exist regarding opioid safety in COPD.

Insulin secretagogues and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly co-prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Case reports suggesting that co-administration of insulin secretagogues with ACEIs is associated with an increased risk of serious hypoglycemia have led to warnings regarding a drug-drug interaction in widely used drug compendia. However, subsequent studies have had inconsistent results.

University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, United States.
Objective: This article describes the implementation of preemptive clinical pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing linked to an automated clinical decision support (CDS) system delivering actionable PGx information to clinicians at the point of care at UCSF Health, a large Academic Medical Center.
Methods: A multidisciplinary team developed the strategic vision for the PGx program. Drug-gene interactions of interest were compiled, and actionable alleles identified.
