Groundwork – Alerts and Reminders Framework
Introduction
The design groundwork exploration in the Design Guidance Exploration – Decision
Support document provides you with design exploration and recommendations
for the notification of alerts and reminders within a patient record that have either
occurred or should occur. It enhances patient safety and clinical application usability
by providing guidance for:
- Displaying alerts and reminders in a clinical application
- Editing and managing alerts
- Recommending standard components of an alert
The first part of this design groundwork exploration to be made publically available
is the early design exploration for decision support alerts. This focuses on areas
of decision support design, including the structure of the decision support information
window and interacting with system generated alerts.
