Learning Objectives Translate lengthy clinical guidelines into CDS that community hospital physicians are likely to accept Recognize how to embed CDS in harmony with physician workflow Employ collaborative (vs. hierarchical) techniques for winning over skeptics Create a repeatable process for designing, deploying, and measuring/ increasing use of multiple CPOE forms tied to various initiatives
CDS Development Process Clinical Problem Identified Collect Pertinent Evidence Clinical Quality Specialist, EBSCO Dynamed Review Evidence With Subject Matter Expert Multidisciplinary Team, Medical Director Create Content and Workflow in CPOE System CMIO, Clinical Informatics Team Inform Medical Executive Committee Deploy and Measure Adoption
Clinical Problem Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention Hospital Acquired VTE (DVT + PE)* 1 VTE per 1000 persons per year 60% are hospital acquired Occurrence (NO prophylaxis & routine screening) ALL DVT = 10-20%; proximal DVT 4-5% Fatal PE account for 5-10% of in-hospital deaths Other Morbidity Increased hospital length of stay ($10-20K/episode) Risk of anticoagulants, recurrence Post-phlebitic syndrome * DVT = Deep Venous Thrombosis; PE = Pulmonary Embolism
