The Impact of Clinical Decision Support Systems: Alerts and Standardized Order Sets

Registration for the teleconference has expired.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Numerous healthcare organizations have been struggling with the quantity and quality of safety alerts that are being generated by their computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) system. Because of complaints of “alert fatigue,” many prescribers are simply ignoring alerts and some hospitals are by-passing safety warnings by turning off the alert system.

Our guest speaker, Eric Pifer, MD, Chief Medical Informatics Officer at the University of Pennsylvania, will share his real life experiences with the implementation of clinical decision support, including the effective use of safety alerts and orders sets for augmenting decision making at the time of prescribing.
