Intelligent Alert Suppression
First Claim
1. An alert suppression engine comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, implement a method comprising;
receiving healthcare data specific to at least one patient;
identifying at least two alert parameters associated with an alert, wherein the at least two alert parameters include at least one threshold value and a patient range;
analyzing the received healthcare data against the at least one threshold value;
based on the analyzing and the patient age, determining at least one additional alert parameter that includes a patient problem or a patient diagnosis;
identifying an alert category for the alert;
determining a severity level for the alert;
associating each of the at least two or more alert parameters and the at least one additional alert parameter with a weight value based on the severity level;
suppressing the alert when the weight value is greater than the threshold value for the alert; and
not suppressing the alert when the weight value is less than the threshold value for the alert and providing the alert to at least one remote computer, wherein the remote computer is a personal digital assistant.

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).
