Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the usability of a novel, medication-related clinical decision support (CDS) application to the current standard medication administration and documentation workflow. The study will occur in a simulation setting, using a manikin and test patient data - no actual patients will participate. Forty clinician participants will be randomly assigned to either the CDS group (who will complete simulation tasks using the CDS prototype) or the Control group (who will complete simulation tasks using the standard medication administration workflow).

Conditions

  • Perioperative Medication Errors
  • Perioperative Adverse Medication Events

Interventions

OTHER

Electronic Clinical Decision Support Application

Robust, real-time medication-related clinical decision support application for use in the operating room. The application is fully integrated with existing clinical systems. It provides visual alerts for medication errors and adverse medication events at the point-of-care.
