Post-implementation optimization of medication alerts in hospital computerized provider order entry systems: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

A scoping review identified interventions for optimizing hospital medication alerts post-implementation, and characterized the methods used, the populations studied, and any effects of optimization.

Materials and methods

A structured search was undertaken in the MEDLINE and Embase databases, from inception to August 2023. Articles providing sufficient information to determine whether an intervention was conducted to optimize alerts were included in the analysis. Snowball analysis was conducted to identify additional studies.

Results

Sixteen studies were identified. Most were based in the United States and used a wide range of clinical software. Many studies used inpatient cohorts and conducted more than one intervention during the trial period. Alert types
