Description
Ensuring clinicians are aware of safety risks associated with caring for individuals with a high risk for violence is required by law in some jurisdictions. This is done to allow clinicians the opportunity to prepare and plan for encounters with patients that are safe for all involved. This poster will provide the initial findings of an alert system embedded in a psychiatric electronic health record system that communicates potential safety risks to clinicians.
Learning Objective: Poster viewers will:
1) Learn about how a psyhciatric organization embedded safety alerts in its electronic health record system
2) Gain knowledge related to the nature and number of safety alerts generated during the one year evaluation period
2) Learn about the perspectives of clinicians related to their behavior once viewing a safety alert
