Modifying the Alert Status and Severity Level for an Interaction

The status indicates if a drug-drug interaction triggers an alert or is suppressed. The Severity Level provides the message the user receives when an alert is triggered. AlertSpace allows you to customize these settings so you only receive the alerts and severity warnings that you need.

Important: Once a modification is made, the new setting is immediately applied to the selected interaction in your Work List. Changes are only applied to Published when you promote the list within the Work List screen.

Important: First DataBank does not manage inactive ingredient alerts in AlertSpace. These alerts must be enabled or disabled within your application, otherwise inactive ingredients interaction alerts may still occur.

To modify the Alert Status and Severity Level for an interaction:

1. From the Work List screen, click an interaction description to open the Interaction Details window.
2. Select one of the following from the Alert Status drop-down list:
   • On (activates the alert)
   • Off (overrides the alert)
3. A dialog box appears asking if you are sure that you want to change the alert status for this drug-drug interaction.
   • If you wish to make the change, enter a description in the note box, and check the checkbox to indicate your understanding that this action will overwrite the alert status of this interaction pair in your Work List. Click Accept to change the alert status.
   • If you wish do not wish to make the change, click Cancel to return to the Interaction Details screen.
     Note: If you do not enter a description in the note box, you cannot return to create one once the modification has been saved.
4. Select one of the following from the Severity Level drop-down list:
   • 1 - Contraindicated
   • 2 - Severe
   • 3 - Moderate
   • 9 - Undetermined
   • D - Default (returns a modified severity level to the First DataBank severity level)
5. A dialog box appears asking if you are sure that you want to change the severity level for this drug-drug interaction.
   • If you wish to make the change, enter a description in the note box, and check the checkbox to indicate your understanding that this action will modify the severity for this drug-drug interaction in your Work List. Click Accept to change the severity level.
   • If you wish to cancel the change, click Cancel to return to the Interaction Details screen.
