INTELLIGENT ALERT SUPPRESSION
First Claim
1. 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 alert parameters include a patient age, patient diagnoses, or a patient problem;
associating each of the two or more alert parameters with a weight value; and
suppressing the alert when the weight value is greater than a threshold value for the alert.

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).

9. A computerized method carried out by an alert suppression engine having at least one processor for suppressing alerts, the method comprising:
-
receiving two or more alert parameters associated with an alert, wherein alert parameters include a patient age, a patient diagnosis, or a patient problem; associating each of the two or more alert parameters with a weight value; and suppressing the alert when the weight value is greater than a threshold value for the alert. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of suppressing alerts, the method comprising:
-
receiving two or more alert parameters for an alert, wherein the alert parameters include a patient age, one or more patient diagnoses, or one or more patient problems; identifying an alert category for the alert; identifying an override rate for the alert category; identifying a severity level for the alert; identifying a severity score associated with the severity level; determining whether the alert matches at least one historical alert record; assigning matching values to each of the two or more parameters based on the determination whether the alert matches at least one historical alert record; calculating a weight value; and suppressing the alert when the weight value is greater than a threshold value such that the alert is a suppressed alert. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
