US 2020/0090806 A1 · Intelligent Alert Suppression

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for intelligent suppression of alerts. Alerts may be evaluated prior to presentation to determine whether to present the alert or suppress the alert to reduce alert fatigue. The evaluation includes analysis of the alert including specific alert parameters. Alert parameters include, but are not limited to, an age of the patient, one or more diagnoses of the patient, one or more problems of the patient, etc. Additional parameters that may be evaluated include an alert severity score, a threshold value, and an override rate. Alerts that qualify may be suppressed and the suppressed alerts may be provided as non-interruptive alerts (i.e., alerts that may be presented but do not require action in order to continue with a workflow).

Dependent claims

A system for suppressing alerts, the system comprising:

one or more processors of an alert suppression engine;
and
one or more computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the alert suppression engine, implement a method comprising:
receiving two or more alert parameters associated with an alert, wherein the alert parameters include a patient age, a patient diagnoses, or a patient problem;
associating each of the two or more alert parameters with a weight value;
identifying an alert category for the alert;
identifying a severity level for the alert;
and
suppressing the alert when the weight value is greater than the threshold value for the alert.
