This study examined nearly 2000 drug–drug interaction (DDI) alerts that were overridden by providers and noted differential triggers based on clinician knowledge or specialty. The authors conclude that simply turning off DDI alerts is limited by these differential triggers and inconsistent drug monitoring, which may raise safety concerns that are prevented by the alerts themselves.
