Description
Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems play a key role in Utilization Management/Stewardship programs.2 In 2014, seven inpatient laboratory tests (Hemoglobin A1C, Hepatitis A antibodies, lipid panel, vitamin D, reticulocyte count, and serum Iron + TIBC panel) were subjected to different CDS interventions. Duplicate checking led to variable successes, and clinician education led to a modest and sustained effect. However our largest success was in changing test names to those that added information needed to make the ordering decision.
Learning Objective: After participating in this session, the learner should be better able to:
Learn challenges and possible solutions in creating sustainable clinical decision support for laboratory utilization.
