A few questions about the rule as described:
- Why is there a "patient is male or female" qualifier? This seems like it would miss a number of patients whose gender is not known, or who are intersexual. I know that a small percentage of patients in one database I use have gender "Other".
- What does "the patient has no other conditions" mean?
- Why are we prioritizing drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction alerts over this alert? Many drug-drug interaction alerts in clinical systems are irrelevant or trivial, but in the logic here, if a drug triggered an irrelevant DDI alert that the physician overrode, this ADE alert would not be shown.
I would recommend simplifying the logic of the rule, so it just checks for the ADE and the patient age - since these are high severity only, I think this is a fair tradeoff, but wanted to see if I'm missing anything before making the change myself.
