title: Clinical decision support to avoid adverse drug events with anticoagulants.
abstract: Unintentional duplication or timing of anticoagulant orders leaves patients at high risk for serious adverse events. Alerts at the point of electronic order entry have the potential to mitigate this risk; however poor specificity with a high frequency of interruptions may decrease the ability of a clinician to recognize specific hazards. This poster will depict custom clinical decision support designed to prevent specific misadventures with this high risk class of medications.
