The diagnosis and treatment of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in the inpatient setting represents a challenge for clinical teams. The uncertainty about the diagnosis results in unnecessary treatment and potentially iatrogenic interventions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an electronic medical record (EMR) alarm in preventing iatrogenic interventions in the inpatient setting for patients with a diagnosis of PNES.
