Description
In recent years, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy has been increasing. Despite many published studies, there are no commonly accepted therapy guidelines. To address this gap in knowledge, we have developed a retrospective study of almost 900 ECMO patients to outline meaningful indications, provide clinical decision support where evidence-based recommendations can be established, and effectively counsel our patients and their families regarding the morbidity and mortality associated with this therapy.
Learning Objective: After participating in this session, the learner should be better able to:
-Learn the utility in adopting an EHR-centered approach to study complex critically ill patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
-Understand the current challenges in developing clinical repositories using multiple sources of clinical data
-Understand several strategies to improve clinical documentation as a resource to improve EHR utilization for quality improvement and research initiatives
