Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a novel clinical decision support application on the rate of perioperative medication errors and preventable adverse medication events. The investigators hypothesize that the perioperative clinical decision support application will reduce the incidence of perioperative medication errors and adverse medication events compared to the standard of care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Perioperative Clinical Decision Support Application

Participants will be observed performing clinical tasks and documenting medication administrations with use of the clinical decision support application in the perioperative setting.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electronic Clinical Decision Support Application

Intervention Type OTHER

Robust, real-time medication-related clinical decision support application for use in the operating room. The application is fully integrated with existing clinical systems. It provides visual alerts for medication errors and adverse medication events at the point-of-care.

No Perioperative Clinical Decision Support Application

Participants will be observed performing clinical tasks and documenting medication administrations without use of the clinical decision support application in the perioperative setting.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
