In POM, there is a way for individual physicians to 'turn off' interaction checking on a case by case basis. For example physician gets a warning that aspirin and warfarin interact - they can mark it for automatic override (if their access allows) for this patient or all patients. They can also create order sets and turn off the interaction checking for the drugs in that set.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We use FirstDataBank, but I too think that as a user I should be able to suppress certain interactions. I believe that the problem lies with the way the FSV's and Meditech classify interactions. With FDB, the severity level is often set by how strong the evidence to support the interaction is rather than how severe the effects of an interaction would be. All of this really comes into play when we talk about POM, because it has been shown in the literature that physicians (and other health care workers) tend to ignore messages when they are bombarded with them and when the majority are not important.
