Applying human factors research to alert-fatigue in e-prescribing.
The application of computer-human interaction research may offer new presentations of alerts in clinical systems. The goal of this study is to investigate the attention cost of a set of novel interfaces applied to e-prescribing. Attributes of common alert types were mapped to a set of user interfaces. These interfaces have been prototyped and will undergo pilot testing with a group of clinicians.
