Time to prescribe was most affected by the display of high-level (24.59\u2005s (24.43 to 24.76); p&amp;lt;0.001) or previously unseen (18.87\u2005s (18.78 to 18.96); p&amp;lt;0.001) alerts. Prescribers took significantly less time at weekends (11.29\u2005s (11.23 to 11.35)) than on weekdays (11.88\u2005s (11.84 to 11.91); p&amp;lt;0.001), in the first (11.25\u2005s (11.16 to 11.34); p&amp;lt;0.001) and final (11.56\u2005s (11.47 to 11.66); p&amp;lt;0.001) hour of their shifts, and after the first month of using the system.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions The display of alerts, prescribing experience, system familiarity, and environment all affect the time taken to generate a prescription order. Our study reinforces the need for appropriate alerts to be presented to individuals at an appropriate place in the workflow, in order to improve prescribing efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/amiajnl-2014-002822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,30]],"date-time":"2014-07-30T04:51:29Z","timestamp":1406695889000},"page":"206-212","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Temporal and other factors that influence the time doctors take to prescribe using an electronic prescribing system"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jamie J","family":"Coleman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"},{"name":"University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Hodson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK"}]},{"given":"Sarah K","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"},{"name":"University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK"}]},{"given":"Hannah L","family":"Brooks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK"}]},{"given":"Robin E","family":"Ferner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020110612593692500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"487","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2125.2006.02649.x","article-title":"A prescription for better prescribing","volume":"61","author":"Aronson","year":"2006","journal-title":"Br J Clin Pharmacol"},{"key":"2020110612593692500_R2","volume-title":"Good practice in prescribing and managing medicines and devices","author":"General Medical Council","year":"2013"},{"key":"2020110612593692500_R3","first-page":"121","author":"Dornan","year":"2009"},{"key":"2020110612593692500_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1258\/jrsm.2011.110061","article-title":"Can an electronic prescribing system detect doctors who are more likely to make a serious prescribing error?","volume":"104","author":"Coleman","year":"2011","journal-title":"J R Soc Med"},{"key":"2020110612593692500_R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"613","DOI":"10.1197\/jamia.M3050","article-title":"Does computerized provider order entry reduce prescribing errors for hospital inpatients?
