Welcome to this module on clinical decision support systems clinical
[10]
decision support tools have been developed to provide the right
[14]
information to the right person at the right time and at the right location the
[20]
National Quality forum has defined them as any tool or technique that enhances
[27]
decision-making by clinicians patients or their surrogates in the delivery or
[32]
management of health care so what does that mean
[36]
a c.d.s tool consists of a trigger input data interventions and the action step
[44]
for example a trigger such as ordering an antibiotic in is is an event that
[50]
signals a c.d.s algorithm the simplest types of c.d.s tools are medication
[57]
alerts in this case the algorithm instructs the system to look at the
[64]
creatinine results other medications for the patients and the patient's age the
[71]
interventions are the possible actions that would be suggested to the provider
[76]
given the type and dose of medication she entered and the patient's data in
[82]
this case the suggestion could be to choose a different dose because of the
[88]
age or creatinine level or to choose a different antibiotic because of its
[93]
interaction with other medications the patient is taking the action step would
[99]
be what the provider decides to do based on the suggestions provided this type of
[106]
point of care alert is common in most medication ordering systems this type of
[113]
point of care alert has been known to cause alert fatigue when there are too
[118]
many alerts that are not clinically significant advanced practice nurses
[124]
should give feedback about the overuse of alerts so that informatics can work
[130]
on improving the logic behind the alert or prioritizing the alerts other
[136]
categories of CBS tools are order sets relevant reference information expert
[143]
systems suggestions for parameters reference to guidelines templates for
[149]
documentation and the event-driven alerts I've already explained order sets
[155]
present the most common orders for a specific condition for example for a
[161]
client who is being transitioned to comfort care a set of evidence-based
[166]
interventions can be presented to the clinician who is writing the order she
[172]
doesn't have to remember all the single orders that go into transitioning the
[177]
patient's orders another example is the provision of information buttons at
[183]
specific times in the clinicians workflow to provide health care
[188]
guidelines or up to date references from within the electronic health records
[194]
system rather than forcing a clinician to go outside the system to search for
[201]
information they need other tools that have been developed our workflow support
[208]
tools for discharging a patient to a different level of care and medication
[213]
reconciliation tools why is this important to advanced practice nurses
[218]
the DNP graduate should be able to evaluate the evidence and implement the
[224]
best evidence into practice to change patient outcomes clinical decision
[230]
support tools are one way that information technology can support the
[236]
translation of evidence to practice if you want to make sure that the clients
[242]
at your clinic have their current a1c values you could add this reminder when
[247]
the provider opens the chart if you want to make sure the providers have the
[253]
latest information from evidence summaries and guidelines you need to
[258]
make this information available in the EHR when clinicians are making decisions
[264]
on their clients care CDS tools are often only provided in fully functional
[270]
electronic health records and each vendor may configure the CDS tools in a
[276]
different way therefore there are barriers to having a knowledge base that
[281]
is kept up to date with the latest information and is used effectively the
[287]
use of CDS tools and interventions are in their infant stage it will be
[293]
important for advanced practice nurses to find ways to translate their work
[298]
into relevant information that is available to all clinicians at the right
[303]
point in their workflow you
