A few questions about the rule as described:

  • Why is there a "patient is male or female" qualifier? This seems like it would miss a number of patients whose gender is not known, or who are intersexual. I know that a small percentage of patients in one database I use have gender "Other".
  • What does "the patient has no other conditions" mean?
  • Why are we prioritizing drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction alerts over this alert? Many drug-drug interaction alerts in clinical systems are irrelevant or trivial, but in the logic here, if a drug triggered an irrelevant DDI alert that the physician overrode, this ADE alert would not be shown.
