Comput Inform Nurs

March 2020

Author Affiliations: Duke University School of Nursing, Durham, North Carolina (Drs Cieslowski, Richesson, Silva, and Kim); University of Virginia School of Nursing (Dr Cieslowski); and University of Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville (Ms Brock).

Clinical decision support interventions, such as alerts and reminders, can improve clinician compliance with practice guidelines and patient outcomes. Alerts that trigger at inappropriate times are often dismissed by clinicians, reducing desired actions rather than increasing them. A set of nursing-specific alerts related to influenza screening and vaccination were optimized so that they would "trigger" less often but function adequately to maintain institutional flu vaccination compliance.

This research addresses an important methodological issue on patient safety and obesity for the purposes of examining clinical and administrative data for the reliability of using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnoses codes alone to reliably identify obesity as a comorbidity and risk factor in care and management. The findings of this research confirm ICD codes for the obese surgical populations were underutilized. Despite more than 70% of patients classified as overweight or obese, ICD-9 codes for obesity were assigned in less than 10% of the overall sample.
