A framework for evaluating the appropriateness of clinical decision support alerts and responses
This is a review of McCoy, Waitman, Lewis, Wright, Choma, Miller and Peterson’s 2012 article, A framework for evaluating the appropriateness of clinical decision support alerts and responses.[1]
Introduction
With healthcare transitioning into the 21st century, more and more hospitals and clinics are making the switch from paper-based records to Electronic Health Records (EMR). Included in the EMRs are Computerized Provider Order Entries (CPOE) and Clinical Decision Support (CDS). These two features are aimed to specifically improve patient safety. Clinical Decision Support is a process for enhancing health-related decisions and actions with pertinent, organized clinical knowledge and patient information to improve health and healthcare delivery. [2]
The authors present a comprehensive framework for evaluating the clinical appropriateness of synchronous, interruptive medication safety alerts. [3]
