Alert design in the real world: a cross-sectional analysis of interruptive alerting at 9 academic pediatric health systems
Our study provides the first multi-center analysis of EHR alert design elements in pediatric care settings, revealing substantial variation in content and design. These findings underline the need for future research to experimentally explore EHR alert design best practices to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
