Funded Activity Summary

As medication management in Australian hospitals shifts from paper to electronic formats, organisations are faced with a difficult decision: should drug-drug interaction (DDI) alerts be turned on and if so, which alerts? In this study, we propose a highly innovative approach to assess DDI alerts, which combines a robust evaluation of error rates with a human factors evaluation of alerts.
