By Laboratory Test Ordered, Odds Ratio between Presence of Non-interruptive Alerts and the Quantity of Labs Ordered

Laboratory Test Total Labs Ordered Total Alerts Fired Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Interval p-value
Alkaline Phosphatase 18 82 0.740 (0.223, 2.456) 0.623
Alanine Aminotransferase 483 1453 0.789 (0.502, 1.242) 0.306
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 17 56 0.811 (0.235, 2.803) 0.741

Potassium 744 1526 1.288 (0.852, 1.947) 0.229

  • “Total labs ordered” includes the number of times serum testing was completed in both control and intervention groups within 14 days of the alert firing. “Total alerts fired” includes both the number of times the alert potentially could have fired in the control group and the number of the times the non-interruptive alert did fire in the intervention group.
