CDSC Goal and Significance Goal: To assess, define, demonstrate, and evaluate best practices for knowledge management and clinical decision support in healthcare information technology at scale across multiple ambulatory care settings and EHR technology platforms. Significance: The CDS Consortium will carry out a variety of activities to improve knowledge about decision support, with the ultimate goal of supporting and enabling widespread sharing and adoption of clinical decision support. 2. Knowledge Specification 1. Knowledge Management Life Cycle 3. Knowledge Portal and Repository 4. CDS Public Services and Content 5. Evaluation Process for each CDS Assessment and Research Area 6. Dissemination Process for each Assessment and Research Area
Timelines We are here
CDSC Headlines Preview CDS Web Services work at Scale across multiple sites and multiple EMRs An Enhanced CCD can serve as the Patient Data Payload (with some limitations) Knowledge Artifacts Can Be Collaboratively Authored and Shared Across Diverse Care Delivery Organizations in an Open Knowledge Repository
CDSC Next Steps: v 2.0 Future research and development roadmap to focus on extensions to patient data payload, additional content areas, and generalizing the approach to create CDS Ecosystem Additional content areas (MU, Pharmacogenomics, care coordination, chronic care management) Additional functional areas (Order sets, infobuttons, documentation templates) Individual sites developing rules services (for $) The CDSC collectively exploring v 2.0 options (more to follow)
Recommendations Summary Dean Sittig, PhD Co-investigator and KMLA and Recommendations Team Lead
Recommendations for HIT Vendors Expand use of CCD standard Continue support for Gov t-approved controlled clinical vocabularies Continue to work with and support the on-going HL7 knowledge representation initiatives Support the HL7 Infobutton standard Implement standard data triggers Provide appropriate insertion points in the clinical workflow for CDS interventions to be delivered Facilitate selective filtering or tailoring of rules through EHRs
Comparison of Clinical KM Capabilities Commercially-available and leading internallydeveloped electronic health records. Qualitative research program: barriers and facilitators to successful adoption and use Reviewed teaching facilities with long-standing EHR R&D programs Are commercially-available EHRs capable clinical knowledge management features, functions, tools, and techniques required to deliver and maintain the CDS interventions required to support the recently defined meaningful use criteria
Comparison of Clinical KM Capabilities (cont.) 17-question survey about the vendor s EHR, CDSrelated system tools and capabilities that each vendor provides, and clinical content. Majority of the systems were capable of performing almost all of the key knowledge management functions we identified The transformation of the healthcare enterprise is achievable using commercially-available, state-of-theart EHRs.

Site Visit to Vendors and Vendors Customers Implementing CDSC Services Dean Sittig, PhD Co-investigator and KMLA and Recommendations Team Lead
We First Visited CDS Content Vendors Zynx Health, First Databank, UpToDate Focus was on CDS in general Big themes were We are in this together [with clinical organizations and the EHR industry] so need to work together We are like Switzerland [we do not practice medicine] Ash JS, et al. Studying the vendor perspective on clinical decision support. AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings. 2011;2011:80-7. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3243293/
Virtual Site Visits with EHR Vendors NextGen, GE and UMDNJ sites Focus was on service oriented architecture for CDS Big themes were SOA is the future The challenges are great, including lack of interest in CDS among customers and standards issues

Lessons Learned CDSC Service is analogous to homegrown reminders Recent analysis found strong correlation; article for review Technical integration into EHR straightforward Not easy but manageable Works better with SOA/modular CPOE Challenges remaining Terminology mapping CDA generation / consumption performance
Implementing CDSC Web Service NextGen and WVPHA Sarah Corley, MD, FACP, FHIMSS Chief Medical Officer, NextGen Healthcare
Background NextGen EHR/CDSC web service integration completed in 2012 Client site testing with test patients completed and ready to move to production Project was taken on as a proof of concept project from NextGen s perspective
Initial Challenges Legal agreements NextGen had to perform mapping from ICD-9 to SNOMED codes and NDC to RxNorm initially Some diagnoses were interpreted narrowly for CDSC Eclampsia does not represent a pregnant patient Diabetes in pueperium, baby delivered does not represent diabetes
Initial Challenges Allergies had to be mapped from UNII to RxNorm Structured PE findings had to be codified Diabetic foot exam The pregnancy information was in a CCD dedicated section rather than a subsection of the problem list The patient data needed to be deidentified
Workflow Challenges CDS in NextGen EHR is comprehensive & actionable How to best display CDSC recommendations within workflow? Who should see recommendations How to pass requests efficiently
Future Development Imported recommendations need to be actionable Duplicate recommendations need to be stripped if they are already in EHR More high value CDS needs to be provided Radiology appropriateness indicators Cardiology appropriateness indicators

Harmonization of Standards MU2 set a broader scope of vocabulary standards The ccda has expanded standardized content and should be used Transport and display of content should be standardized e.g. Direct for transport E.g. wrapped CDA for content coming back These will reduce barriers to wider vendor participation
Actionable CDS Consider using MU requirements for reconciliation as a tool to import recommendations for medications now with goal for importing lab tests and diagnostic studies in the future as structured data so it can be imported into EHR and ordered without transcription.
NextGen Next Steps Move to production server Barriers have been interoperability staff constraints due to MU 2 Pilot of catch-up immunizations with HeD

Preliminary Assessment Survey of 19 CDS experts from Partners, Kaiser, VA, Regenstrief Assessed impact of layered model on five dimensions of GLIA: decidability, executability, presentation, flexibility, and computability The results suggest that structured actions are more implementable than semi-structured ones. This effect was not seen for clinical scenarios

KAT Status Currently deployed on the web in test mode If you would like to check it out, please contact Lana Tsurikova or me In-progress Terminology search using BioPortal Planned Support for Health edecisions
Health edecisions S&I Framework project To identify, define and harmonize standards that facilitate the emergence of systems and services whereby shareable CDS interventions can be implemented via: Standards to structure medical knowledge in a shareable and executable format for use in CDS, and (Use Case 1 CDS Artifact Sharing) Standards that define how a system can interact with and utilize an electronic interface that provides helpful, actionable clinical guidance (Use Case 2- CDS Guidance Services)
Status of Health edecisions Created a knowledge artifact schema (in part based on L3) that has been applied to Event-condition-action rules Order sets Documentation templates Balloted as HL7 DSTU in Jan 2013 Passed ballot Significant number of comments related to alignment with HQMF Updating the ballot materials for publication as DSTU Pilot projects started Use case 2 for CDS services currently being developed
