title: Devising outlier-based alerts for medication orders.
abstract: Drugs are chemical substances, which can, on consumption and under certain conditions, be toxic and cause Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in patients. This paper puts forth the proposition of generating a systemic alert to a clinician, at the time of placing a medication order for a patient, when the number of ADRs associated with the selected medication is significantly different from the number of ADRs associated with other drugs approved for the same therapeutic area.
