Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

Conclusions

• Streamlined knowledge bases and tiered alerting have higher acceptance rates
  • Especially for very high risk alerts
• Non-interruptive alerts may have little value
• What is our ideal acceptance rate?? Sensitivity/specificity? Best way to display?
• More work needs to be done to maximize the clinical benefits
• Sharing of streamlined knowledge should be widespread
  • No need to reinvent the wheel
