Description

Clinical decision support (CDS) is the process of bringing evidence into practice by providing the right information, to the right audience, using the right channel and format, at the right time (known as the “Five Rights” of CDS). Health care systems have traditionally developed CDS in siloes, which is a sign of redundancy and inefficiency of an overall ecosystem where CDS knowledge might be shared. MedStar, through contract with AHRQ, studied potential efficiencies gained by health care systems using shared, interoperable CDS available through CDS Connect, AHRQ’s web-based platform for sharing CDS artifacts. This panel describes how researchers worked with four health care systems to quantify differences in process, time, and resources between CDS developed entirely internally versus CDS developed with shared CDS artifacts. At the end, participants will be able to translate this knowledge into a business case for health care systems. Participants will be able to access CDS Connect and review its collection of shareable, interoperable clinical decision support. Participants will be able to compare and contrast processes for developing CDS in siloes vs. developing CDS using shared CDS artifacts. Participants will be able to identify measures that quantify potential efficiencies, including time and resources, towards developing CDS.
