Clinical Decision Support
Achieving full integration of Clinical Decision Support within EMR systems so healthcare clinicians can base patient care decisions on the best possible information is a goal every healthcare organization wants to achieve. The path to achieving that goal, however, requires careful planning, highly engaged clinical leadership and the technical skills to effectively enable the right information at the right time and in the right way.
HIA’s Clinical Systems Optimization Services (Clinical SOS) assist organizations in designing and optimizing their EMR system to meet Clinical Decision Support goals. HIA’s Clinical SOS builds on the basic capabilities provided with the typical EMR. They add the effective real time alerts and optimizations into clinician workflows at the system location most conducive to accomplishing immediate decision-making and resultant positive patient outcomes are achieved.
Clinical SOS focuses on three Decision Support categories. An organization may choose to implement one or more of these categories.
- Best Practice Optimizations (The Joint Commission Core Measures; CMS Care Measures Requirements)
- Therapeutic Safety Assessments (Medication Use Optimizations)
- Patient and Policy Compliance Optimizations (Clinical Documentation Prompts and Reminders)
