In this study, we explore how clinical decision support features can be designed to aid teams in caring for patients during time-critical medical emergencies. We interviewed 12 clinicians with experience leading pediatric trauma resuscitations elicit design requirements alerts and these should shared leadership. Based on the interview data, identified three types of alerts: reminders perform ta...

With the growing deployment of host and network intrusion detection systems, managing reports from these systems becomes critically important. We present a probabilistic approach to alert correlation, extending ideas from multisensor data fusion. Features used for alert correlation are based on alert content that anticipates evolving IETF standards. The probabilistic approach provides a unified...

j J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2006;13:5–11. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M1868. Computerized prescribing applications that embed clinical decision support systems (CDSS) within computerized provider order entry reduce medication error rates both by structuring prescriptions and by checking them for potential problems such as drug interactions, allergies, and other issues. If a potential problem is found, the C...

BACKGROUND Literature has shown that computerized creatinine clearance alerts reduce errors during prescribing, and applying human factors principles may further reduce errors. Our objective was to apply human factors principles to creatinine clearance alert design and assess whether the redesigned alerts increase usability and reduce prescribing errors compared with the original alerts.
