Description
The MEDSAFE-CDS is a knowledge-based system developed jointly by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Stanford University that is designed to aid primary care physicians within the VA Health Care System in the identification and management of multiple chronic health conditions. While phenotypic determinations exist for CKD, they do not identify groups specifically amenable to care via CDS. Here we present a preliminary decision flow diagram that adheres to VA/Department of Defense Clinical Practice Guidelines for CKD.
Learning Objective: After viewing this poster, the learner should be better able to:
Understand the criteria involved selecting patients for chronic kidney disease decision support
Understand the fluid nature of chronic kidney disease categorizations based on medical record data
Become familiar with the challenges in selecting appropriate treatments for patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease based on medical record data
Become familiar with situations where rule-based clinical decision support systems cannot deliver appropriate care, and recommendations must be made to refer to specialist treatment
