Getting Clinical Decision Support Right: Best Practices and Perspectives from Quality Leaders and ON

Wednesday, March 3, 2:15 PM - 3:15 PM

CDS is an essential component of driving improved healthcare outcomes. ARRA, and its requirements for meaningful EHR use, further accentuates the importance of 'getting CDS right.' The session builds on HIMSS' rich history in providing its membership and the industry with valuable insights into critical factors for CDS success via books, collaboratives educational sessions and the like. The panel format enables three key perspectives on CDS to be interwoven, and provides a springboard enhancing the attendees' efforts in this area. These perspectives include the combined insights from scores of implementers and CDS experts on best practices for CDS success (drawn from the bestselling 2009 HIMSS CDS guide); an overview of the CDS strategies and results from a health system that's a quality and CDS leader; and comments by the Deputy National Coordinator for health IT on the role for CDS in the nation's health IT adoption and outcome improvement goals.
