Alert fatigue occurs when clinical decision support systems (CDSS) produce numerous low-relevance alerts, leading to high override rates and the risk of missing relevant alerts. In this study, alerts for high-risk drug-drug interactions (DDI) were tailored to the intensive care unit. The tailored alerts led to a 12% decrease in high-risk DDI administrations.
