How computers screwup your life

 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.
