Alert Fatigue Simulator

Interactive simulator of EHR clinical-alert fatigue: set the automated alert system's sensitivity, watch a clinician move through a shift of patient charts encountering a stream of color-coded alerts, and see how a rising fatigue meter drives faster dismissal — causing rare critical alerts to be missed more often when alert volume is high.

Set an EHR alert system's sensitivity, then run a simulated clinician through a shift of patient charts. Every chart can trigger a stream of color-coded alerts — low-value noise in amber, genuinely critical warnings in red. Watch the fatigue meter climb as alert volume rises, driving faster, less careful dismissal, and see how that translates into critical alerts being caught or quietly missed. Compare Low, Medium and High sensitivity to see the counterintuitive result: more alerts firing does not always mean more real problems caught.

⚙ Under the hood

Set an EHR alert system's sensitivity and watch a simulated clinician work through a shift of patient charts, encountering a stream of color-coded low-value and critical alerts while a rising fatigue meter drives faster dismissal — revealing how more alert volume can mean more missed critical alerts.
