Study Notes
Clinical Decision Support Systems
- Effective use of CDS systems can increase the quality of patient care, reduce costs, help prevent errors, and boost provider and patient satisfaction.
Clinical Decision Support Examples
- Suggesting certain tests or vaccinations based on patient data in the EHR.
- Advanced AI-based CDS systems can help doctors choose proper medication dosage levels based on recent test results.
- Assist radiologists in identifying tumours and diseases.
- Recommend surgical options likely to yield the best outcomes.
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
- Enables physicians to place orders electronically for drugs, laboratory tests, radiology, and physical therapy.
- Orders are transmitted directly to the recipient.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Components
- Includes personal health records (PHRs) that are routinely shared with the patient.
- PHRs include personal identifiers, contact information, and health provider information.
Clinical Decision Support Process
- Designed to enhance healthcare-related decision making through the use of clinical knowledge and patient-specific information.
- Aims to improve healthcare delivery.
