Here's a nice high-res mockup of the sketch I did orignally. Thanks to Janey Barnes and her graphic designer colleague whose name I can't find right now.

I definitely understand where you are coming from with improving the "signal-to-noise" ratio (great term!!). I was just playing devil's advocate by thinking of some of the unintended consequences.

I definitely think a change needs to be made and I really like your approach :)

As far as sketch-to-wireframe-to-mockup is concerned, there may be some nice touch screen applications out there( or coming out because of Windows7) that could help. I'll see what I can find and get back to you.

I found a few typos and they annoyed me:

I found a few typos and they annoyed me:

I think this is a great solution to an ever growing problem. I think you're hitting on a bigger issue of allowing physicians the ability to customize their alerts.

Although the customization of alerts increases the satisfaction of the end user, how do we ensure physicians are still getting the benefit of the alerts? Should a standard be set? Will future governmental regulation limit our ability to customize end user experiences? If a mistake is made, are physicians held accountable for limiting the alerts they see through customization? Should some mechanism be in place to record when the physician opts out of an alert or actively declines an alert?

I definitely agree that more sophisticated alerts and customization of alerts are features necessary for the future of CDSS, but I think we should be cautious when deciding to ignore alerts or eliminating alerts from the end-user experience.

It would be great to iterate a series of sketches of various parts of the design, like Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks.

Explore the concept of sketch to wireframe to working mock-up.

Andrew,
I'm addressing a reality. Doctors ignore the overwhelming volume of meaningless alerts.

Our tools need to adapt to what human psychology research shows us.

Doctors won't want to ignore all alerts. They just want to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

this is great...would like something like this for the discussion Feb12th in my class. I'll call you soon to figure out a time to focus on how to present something like this.
