Alert fatigue is the Achilles heel of medication ordering with computerized physician order entry. This randomized controlled trial found that the appropriateness of alert overrides increased with implementation of a customized list of alert override reasons, compared with default options, in a CPOE system. This demonstrates the need to develop more clinically relevant reasons for overriding alerts in order to enhance the safety of medication prescribing.
