Learning Objectives: 

At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to: 

  • describe the scope and clinical consequences of alert fatigue in EHR-based clinical decision support systems, including reported override rates, cognitive burden metrics, and the framing of alert fatigue as a design failure rather than a clinician failure.
  • explain the theoretical foundations of nudge theory and choice architecture, including dual process cognitive theory and the MINDSPACE framework, as they apply to the design of clinician-facing EHR workflows.
  • identify at least three behavioral nudge strategies, including defaults, friction manipulation, cognitive offloading, social norming, and data salience, and describe their effectiveness in clinical settings.
  • analyze real-world Epic build applications at Geisinger as operationalized examples of behavioral architecture in a primary care informatics context.
