Overriding of drug safety alerts in computerized physician order entry. (2006, background): “Seriousness of the alerts should be clear X Alternative[12, 19 ,26]”
Effects of workload, work complexity, and repeated alerts on alert fatigue in a clinical decision support system (2017, background): “Many overrides are known to be appropriate, as they are informed by clinical knowledge not captured in structured EHR data [10, 40].”
Medication-related clinical decision support in computerized provider order entry systems: a review. (2007, unknown): “Spina found that clinicians categorized only 1 in 9 potentially relevant interaction alerts as helpful when surveyed at the time of the warning.(40) Weingart documented override rates for high-severity drug–drug interactions at 89%.”
Grand challenges in clinical decision support (2008, background): “Currently, unsolicited CDS alerts and reminders are often overridden [12] for a multitude of reasons, one of which is the poor human/computer interfaces that are currently in use.”
THE TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL: ITS PAST AND ITS FUTURE IN HEALTH CARE (2009, unknown): “Numerous cases of underuse, resistance, workarounds and overrides, sabotage, and even abandonment are evidence for this claim [21–28].”
