Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

Summary: Work-in-Progress

CDS intervention appears to be associated with:
- Significant although small increases:
  - ED visits for hypoglycemia - unintended but not unexpected.
  - ED visits for CHF - ? related to use of TZDs
- No significant differences:
  - Preventive services (mammograms, pap smears)
  - Appropriate testing among patients with CHF
  - ED visits for unrelated condition (asthma)
CDS-related alert fatigue did not occur, at least as measured by PCPs' desires to retain the Alerts as the trial period ends.
