Drug-Drug Interaction Override reasons


During the multi-site data collection for our recently published manuscript on drug-drug interactions for high-priority drug pairs, we noticed that every organization had a different set of allowable reasons that their users could choose from to document their reason for overriding a particular alert. This was coupled with simultaneous requests from 2 of our colleagues at different organizations asking us for the “best set” of alert override reasons. Therefore, we started a new multi-site study to identify a set of recommended alert override reasons.
