  • The initial codes for qualitative domains and themes were created by both authors using conceptual frameworks from Osheroff's Five Rights of Clinical Decision Support and broader principles of human-centered design.

    “The initial codes for qualitative domains and themes were created by both authors using conceptual frameworks from Osheroff’s Five Rights of Clinical Decision Support as well as broader principles of human-centered design.”

    From Qualitative Study of Inpatient Hospital Medicine Interruptive Alerts and Clinical Decision Support (2026) · cites this paper as [27]

    The Executive Summary (page not specified) describes CDS as delivering person-specific information to clinicians, staff, or patients at appropriate times, which overlaps with elements of the cited framework. Our copy does not name or set out Osheroff’s Five Rights. It also cannot establish how the citing authors created their qualitative codes; the broader human-centered design principles are not clearly attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.79)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
