Wake Forest Health uses a 'snooze phase'- the period of time within so many hours of beginning treatment that they do not trigger another alert. I want to say this lasted about 12 hours but I can't remember exactly. After that time period if the person still met the criteria a new alert could be called. I don't know how they document it, but it seems like a good plan for those patients who have just begun treatment.
