[Effect of computerized physician order entry inactivation to order complementary studies in an emergency department].

Introduction: The computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is a computing tool that could lead to unintended consequences despite its myriad benefits. We aimed to explore the effect of its inactivation on requests for complementary studies and the associated costs.

Methods: Cross sectional study at the Emergency Department of Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, which included a consecutive sample of pre-intervention (January-February 2020) and post-intervention (2021) consultations.

Analysis and redesign of a knowledge database for a drug-drug interactions alert system.

Physicians tend to ignore drug-drug interactions alerts, this is due to the large amount of irrelevant interactions displayed and the interface in which these alerts are shown. The high rate of clinically inadequate alerts produce "alerts fatigue". This high number of incorrect alerts predisposes physicians to underestimate the electronic prescription systems as useful tools in their practice.
