Clinical Decision Support Tools of the Future Will Be Patient-Centric and Diagnosis Clinical Intelligence Will Change the Way Medicine is Practiced.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/af1cd5/clinical_decision) has announced the addition of the "Clinical Decision Support In Healthcare - One Step Closer To The Omniscient om·nis·cient adj. Having total knowledge; knowing everything: an omniscient deity; the omniscient narrator. n. 1. One having total knowledge. 2. Omniscient God. Clinician clinician /cli·ni·cian/ (kli-nish´in) an expert clinical physician and teacher. cli·ni·cian n. (Strategic Focus)" report to their offering. Introduction As healthcare organizations implement electronic health records, they are becoming increasingly aware of the ways clinical decision support tools will help them improve quality of care, comply with clinical standards and take part in pay for performance initiatives. However, CDS includes a vast range of solutions, many of which are difficult to implement. Scope Identifies the key factors driving adoption of CDS Pinpoints common pitfalls in CDS implementation Provides a framework for future CDS solutions Highlights The culture of medicine is resistant to CDS, CDS tools of the future will be patient-centric and focus on diagnosis Clinical intelligence will change the way medicine is practiced.

See Meta-analysis. 15 Tools of the future will be patient-centric and focus on diagnosis 16 Healthcare is picking low hanging fruit now, but will use more advanced tools in the future 17 Applying business intelligence tools to clinical data will create clinical intelligence 18 Customer Impact: Effectively Implementing CDS 21 Despite the fact that it is a well-known pitfall pit·fall n. 1. An unapparent source of trouble or danger; a hidden hazard: "potential pitfalls stemming from their optimistic inflation assumptions" New York Times. , hospitals are still plagued with alert fatigue fatigue, in engineering fatigue, in engineering, microscopic cracking of materials, especially metals, after repeated applications of stress. Fissures may be formed within pieces of metal during their manufacture when, while cooling from the molten state, 21 The quality of patient data will determine the quality of CI results 21 Interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. is not just a technology issue 23 Go to Market 24 Recommendations 24 CDS vendors should establish relationships with leading EHR (Electronic Health Records) Computerized medical records that bring patient care into the digital age and save time, money and lives. The push to adopt comprehensive electronic documentation between doctors' offices and hospital settings intensified after the RAND vendors to promote interoperability 24 The vendor and medical communities must come together to create and abide by set standards 24 Technology vendors need to encourage, not follow, their clients by educating the market 25 Vendors must be acutely aware of how they position their products in the market 25 CDS solutions need to continue to mature through input from end users 25 APPENDIX 26 Definitions 26 Methodology 26 Further reading 27 Ask the analyst 27 Our consulting 27 Disclaimer (networking) disclaimer - Statement ritually appended to many Usenet postings (sometimes automatically, by the posting software) reiterating the fact (which should be obvious, but is easily forgotten) that the article reflects its author's opinions and not necessarily those of the 27 List of Figures Figure 1: The various types of CDS will be implemented in stages 7 Figure 2: The adoption of CDS solutions will increase over time 17 Figure 3: Effectively implementing CDS is often difficult 22 For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/af1cd5/clinical_decision Source: Datamonitor |
