How computers screwup your life

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/AdvisoryCommitteeforPharmaceuticalScienceandClinicalPharmacology/UCM370538.pdf
 this is a good  powerpoint  on  drug drug interaction alerts and  how to  minimize alert fatigue and improve safety.

How do you feel when there is warning which just says

"something is wrong!"
without telling what it is
while you are trying to  finish the clinical note.

I and everyone else  i know would like to reach for that sledge hammer.

like  the alert   for  codeine  and   baby aspirin.

or the  alert for  rhabdo in a patient  who  has been on  a statin for > a deaced.

EHR and alert fatigue the good old wolf wolf story

If you are a primary care physician using  any EHR
at the end of the day  you feel like taking a hammer and  either  hitting the  computer  or hitting  your  own head to put and end to the  misery.

I am  talking about the recurring alerts when you are trying to treat and prescribe for patients.

 people  seem to be noticing this .

there is a latest article just on this.
I am looking forward to the day when every EHR  should have this kind  of required understanding  and learning mandatory.


Alert fatigue represents a common problem associated with the use of clinical decision support systems in electronic health records (EHR). This problem is particularly profound with drug–drug interaction (DDI) alerts for which studies have reported override rates of approximately 90%. The objective of this study is to report consensus-based recommendations of an expert panel on DDI that can be safely made non-interruptive to the provider's workflow, in EHR, in an attempt to reduce alert fatigue.

    Abstract

    Adverse drug events cause substantial morbidity and mortality and are often discovered after a drug comes to market. We hypothesized that Internet users may provide early clues about adverse drug events via their online information-seeking. We conducted a large-scale study of Web search log data gathered during 2010. We pay particular attention to the specific drug pairing of paroxetine and pravastatin, whose interaction was reported to cause hyperglycemiaafter the time period of the online logs used in the analysis. We also examine sets of drug pairs known to be associated with hyperglycemia and those not associated with hyperglycemia. We find that anonymized signals on drug interactions can be mined from search logs. Compared to analyses of other sources such as electronic health records (EHR), logs are inexpensive to collect and mine. The results demonstrate that logs of the search activities of populations of computer users can contribute to drug safety surveillance

    It's not that compromise is inherently wrong

    " It's not that compromise is inherently wrong," he said to me.
    " I just didn't find it satisfying. And the one thing I've discovered
    as I get older is that you have to do what is satisfying to you. In
    fact that's one of the advantages o f old age, I suppose, that You've
    finally learn ed what matters to you. It's ha rd to know that at
    twenty- six. And the problem is th at no body else can answer that
    question for you. You can only figure it o ut on your own."
    Twenty years later, I think back on that conversation and appreciate
    my fri end's words mo re than I did at the time. For I am
    getting to an age where I have a sense of what satisfies me, and
    although I am perhaps more tolerant of compromise on the issues.
    Obama in audacity of hope

    True democracy is the result of a local awakening.

    First, we should be skeptical of those who believe we can single-highhandedly liberate other
    people from tyranny. I agree with George W. Bush when in his
    second inaugural address he proclaimed a universal  desire to be
    free. But the re a re few examples in history in which the freedom
    men and women crave is delivered through outside intervention.
    In almost every successful social  movement of the last century,
    from Gandhi's campaign against British rule to the Solidarity
    movement in Poland to the anti apartheid movement in South
    Africa, democracy was the result of a local awakening.

    Barack Obama in  Audacity of hope

    Where is the hope OBAMA ?

     I have been  an ardent supporter of Barack Obama   of the 3 times  i have voted in US presidential elections  2 times  was to vote for him. Although  voting for him in Dallas Texas  was  more  for moral support  rather than  any  concrete use due to the electoral college system of American elections.

    recently I was reading  the  excerpts of the  book Audacity of Hope by Obama .

    many  things he wrote in that book are  similar to my own opinions  which may be a reflection of his  upbringing.
    I reproduce a paragraph here.

    "Still, it's not too early to draw some conclusions from our
    actions in Iraq. For our difficulties there don't just arise as a result
    of bad execution. They reflect a failure of conception. The
    fact is, close to five years after 9/11 and fifteen years after the
    breakup of the Soviet Union, the United Stares still lacks a coherent nationaI security policy. Instead of guiding principles, we have what appear to be a series of adhoc decisions, with dubious
    results. Why invade Iraq and not North Korea or Burma? Why
    intervene in Bosnia and nor Darfur? Are our goals in Iran regime
    change,The dismantling of all Iranian nuclear capability, the prevention
    of nuclear proliferation, or all three? Are we committed
    to mobilize force wherever there's a despotic regime that's terrorizing
    its people and if so, how long do we stay to ensure democracy
    takes root? How do we treat countries like China that are liberalizing
    economically but not politically Do we work through
    the United nations on all issues or only· when the UN is  willing
    to ratify decisions we've already made?"

    Now  with Barak Obama  in his second term
    where are we ?
     we still have similar adhocism
    what are our goals in Iran ?
    Why invade Libya but not Syria?
    What is the legality of drone strikes.
    why have we forgotten about Guantanamo?
