Compliance with computerized physician order entry (CPOE) allergy alerts decreased over five years. Overridden alerts and narcotic renewal policies impacted system effectiveness, necessitating software and policy refinements.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Decision Support
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems, including allergy alert functions, are crucial for reducing medication errors.
  • Effective decision support requires continuous system optimization and performance monitoring.
  • Increasing system complexity necessitates robust methods for tracking performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze a five-year trend in compliance with allergy alert functions in CPOE systems.
  • To identify factors contributing to decreased user responsiveness to allergy alerts.
  • To inform potential policy and software modifications for improved alert system efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of trend data spanning a five-year period.

  • Examination of medication-allergy pair override rates.
  • Investigation of the impact of renewal policies on narcotic reordering.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in compliance with allergy alert functions was observed over the five-year study period.
    • Consistent overrides of numerous medication-allergy alerts were identified.
    • Narcotic renewal policies were found to be a substantial contributor to the observed trend.

    Conclusions:

    • Declining compliance with allergy alerts poses a risk to patient safety and user trust in CPOE systems.
    • System-wide trends indicate a need for policy adjustments and software enhancements.
    • Ongoing monitoring of alert system performance is vital for maintaining software correctness and user responsiveness.
