| Alerts |
|
An informal term used to define a machine-to-person communication that is important, urgent and/or time sensitive. An alert is all the user requested content such as a reminder (important), a notification (urgent), and ultimately an alert (important and urgent). A well-recognized issue with alerts is “alert fatigue”. Within Orion Health solutions clinicians can choose what level of alert to receive relating to any of their patients. When new information becomes available, for example when new lab results arrive, Orion Health Clinical Portal will electronically notify every physician who has subscribed for updates on that patient. Orion Health’s solutions recognize a very wide range of alert types such as privacy concerns, allergies, drug interactions, clinical decision support and customized situations, which are dealt with under relevant headings. |
