We report electronic medical record interventions to reduce Clostridioides difficile testing risk 'alert fatigue.' We used a behavioral approach to diagnostic stewardship and observed a decrease in the number of tests ordered of ~4.5 per month (P < .0001). Although the number of inappropriate tests decreased during the study period, delayed testing increased.
我们报告了电子病历干预措施,以减少艰难梭菌检测风险的“警报疲劳”。我们使用了一种诊断管理的行为方法,观察到每月检测数量减少了约 4.5 次(P <.0001)。虽然在研究期间,不适当的检测数量有所减少,但延迟检测的数量增加了。
