HIMSS Word of the Day #337: Alert
An alert is a signal, written or acoustic, that announces a message or result or warns of a possible problem. The HIMSS Dictionary separates passive alerts, which appear on screen, from active alerts that notify a person immediately. This post covers what a 23-article review found about override rates, what a 39-article review found about design and role tailoring, and what a four-trust NHS study found about digital sepsis alerts.
