Big Daddy (2) Flashcards
*Supports healthcare practitioners in making pt-care decisions by integrating pt data w/ current clinical knowledge. Provides recommendations for care & must be balanced w/ professional judgment, not used in place of it.
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS)
*Software/app to help in human decision process. Software will look at the pt’s data & suggest appropriate medical/nursing interventions. Can also trigger prompts/alerts to user. Requires human user input. Decreases pt safety risk & increases positive pt outcomes (alerts for abnormal vs, lab results, med contraindication, etc.) The right components of a CDS include a trigger, such as med order; input data, such as lab values; intervention info, such as other options provided; & action step, such as action selected by the doctor.
Decision Support Tool / Clinician Decision Support (CDS) / Decision Support System/Software (DDS)
A type of CDS/DDS but does not need human intervention, uses artificial intelligence (ex. Insulin pump).
Expert System
What term refers to the intelligent application of data manipulation which empowers nurses to work more efficiently w/ enhanced communication & informed decision support?
Artificial intelligence
What is the intent of the CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System)?
This is an application that supports healthcare practitioners in making patient-care decisions and providing clinicians with knowledge & person – specific information
What are two barriers of adopting the CDS in an EHR?
Limited resources & Communication information exchange
Five Rights to Clinical Decision Support:
Right Information, Right Person, Right Intervention, Right time in the workflow, & where.
What is considered to be clinical decision support (CDS) within the EHR?
The condition or disease-specific order sets.
What is the primary purpose of a clinical decision support system (CDSS)?
It provides clinicians with suggested care information
How is clinical decision support system (CDSS) represented in an EHR?
Through alerts & reminders
What to do when CDSS is ignored
Educate staff on the importance (Review each alert’s determinant significance & make a decision to maintain or eliminate it recognize that an unnecessary alert is dangerous because it might make that much less likely that a clinician will pay attention to the next alert that is necessary. Explore the possibility of the machines talking to each other to establish congruence and interpreting specific pt input that is aligned with the need for the alert to fire)
Four components of CDSS?
trigger, input data, intervention information, action step
Name 2 visual cues w/ CDSS. Why are visual cues important?
Order sets, reminders, checklist, data driven triggers. These are important in preventing medication errors & to promote pt safety
What describes the role of decision support within the EHR?
It is designed to assist with timely clinical decision making
*Software used to access client data, plan, implement & evaluate care. May be specific to certain departments: lab, radiology, pharmacy, or pt populations. Provides pt centric decision-making functionality to help guide a RN w/ decision-making. Acquires pt data so that healthcare pros can review it & use information to deliver care.
Clinical Information System (CIS)
Defined the term clinical information system?
Large computerized database management systems used to access the pt data that are needed to plan, implement, & evaluate care.
is clinical information system (not administrative information system) because it also manages order entry tracking of drug dispensing, alerting practitioners and pharmacists of prescription errors and potential interactions, patient education, and providing access to clinical information.
The pharmacy information system
Familiarity w/ the use of personal computers. The knowledge & ability to use computers & technology efficiently. Computer literacy allows pts to interact w/ the internet.
Computer Literacy
Prescriber’s decisions to enter orders & immediately share orders w/ appropriate health pros who execute orders & departments that need to dispense, schedule, or immediately deliver services to pts. CPOE can check for duplicate orders, alert departments to carry out orders, & provide the status of each order.
