Q
What is a CDSS?
A
Clinical Decision Support System includes a variety of tools and interventions, computerized as well as non- computerized. Non-computerized tools include clinical guidelines or digital clinical decision support resources like ClinicalKey® or UpToDate ® [1, 2]. Such clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are characterized as tools for information management. Another category of CDSS sometimes also called basic or simple clinical decision support systems are tools to help focus attention. Examples of such CDSS include laboratory information systems (LISs) highlighting critical care values or pharmacy information systems (PISs) presenting an alert ordering a new drug and proposing a possible drug-drug interaction [3, 4]. Most focus in the past few decades however has gone to tools to provide patient-specific recommendations called advanced CDSS. Advanced CDSS mayinclude, for example, checking drug disease interactions, individualized dosing support during renal impairment, or recommendations on laboratory testing during drug use.

Meaningful use
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 specifies three main components of meaningful use: (1) the use of a certified electronic health record (EHR) in a meaningful manner, such as e-prescribing; (2) the use of certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care; and (3) the use of certified EHR technology to submit clinical quality and other measures. The criteria for meaningful use will be staged in three steps. Stage 1 (2011-2012) sets the baseline for electronic data capture and information sharing. Stage 2 (2013) and Stage 3 (expected to be implemented in 2015) will continue to expand on this baseline and be developed through future rule making.

Bruce L. Blum developed his definition of information from an analysis of the accomplishments in medical computing.44 In his analysis, he identified three types of healthcare computing applications. Blum grouped applications according to the objects they processed. The three types of objects he identified are data, information, and knowledge. Blum defined data as uninterpreted elements such as a person’s name, weight, or age. Information was defined as a collection of data that have been processed and then displayed as information, such as weight over time. Knowledge results when data and information are identified and the relationships between the data and information are formalized.

105
What are the phases of SDLC and how many are there?
7 phases
1. Planning: This is the initial phase where the scope, objectives, and feasibility of the project are determined. It involves identifying the need for a new system or modifications to an existing system.
2. Systems Analysis: In this phase, the current system is evaluated (if it exists), and its requirements are gathered and analyzed. This step often results in the creation of a system requirements document.
3. Systems Design: Based on the requirements identified in the analysis phase, the system's architecture and design specifications are developed. This can include data flow diagrams, system architecture, and interface designs.
4. Development: In this phase, the actual code for the system is written, and the components of the system are built. Database setup and configuration may also occur here.
5. Integration and Testing: Once the system is developed, the components are integrated, and the entire system undergoes testing to ensure it works as expected and is free of defects.
6. Implementation (or Deployment): This phase involves deploying the software into the production environment so end-users can start using it. This might also involve training users and distributing documentation.
7. Maintenance and Support: After deployment, the system enters a maintenance phase where updates, patches, and fixes are provided as necessary. This phase can last as long as the system is in use.
While these seven phases represent a general SDLC, it's important to note that there are several models of the SDLC (e.g., Waterfall, Agile, Iterative, Spiral), and the specific phases or activities can differ or overlap depending on the model in use.

Warren Weaver, from the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, provided the interpretation for understanding the semantic meaning of a message.42 He used Shannon’s work to explain the interpersonal aspects of communication. For example, if the speaker is a physician who uses medical terms that are not known to the receiver (the patient), there is a communication problem caused by the method used to code the message. However, if the patient cannot hear well, he may not hear all of the words in the message. In this case the communication problem is caused by the patient’s ear.

entropy
entropy represents the amount of disorder or randomness in a system, .is the tendency of all systems to break down into their simplest parts. As it breaks down, the system becomes increasingly disorganized or random. Entropy is demonstrated in the tendency of all systems to wear out. Even with maintenance, a healthcare information system will reach a point where it must be replaced. Healthcare information that is transferred across many different systems in many different formats can also demonstrate entropy thereby causing confusion and conflict between different entities within the healthcare system

165
Work flow
A progression of steps (tasks, events, and interactions) that constitute a work process, involve two or more persons, and create or add value to the organization's activities. In a sequential work flow, each step depends on the occurrence of the previous step; in a parallel work flow, two or more steps can occur concurrently. The term "work flow" is sometimes used interchangeably with "process" or "process flow," particularly in the context of implementations. A sequence of connected steps in the work of a person or team of people—that is, the process or flow of work within an organization or a virtual illustration of the "real" work or steps (flow) that workers enact to complete their tasks (work). The purpose of examining and redesigning work flow is to streamline the work process by removing any unnecessary steps that do not add value or might even hinder the flow of work.

True. they run sequentially.
167
SDLC phases
Software Development Life Cycle
1. planning,
2 analysis,
3 design/development,
4 implementation (coding)
5 testing
6 deployment

168
Work flow analysis
Not an optional part of clinical implementations but rather a necessity for safe patient care fostered by technology. The ultimate goal of work flow analysis is not to "pave the cow path" but rather to create a future-state solution that maximizes the use of technology and eliminates non—value-added activities. Although many tools and methods can be used to accomplish work flow redesign (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean), the best method is the one that complements the organization and supports the work of clinicians.

What is a third-level change?
In many contexts, particularly in organizational change management, change is often categorized into different levels based on its scope, impact, and the degree of transformation required. While the exact definitions and categorizations can vary, a third-level change typically refers to a deep, transformative shift. Here's a general breakdown:First-level Change: Often referred to as incremental or continuous change. This involves making improvements within the existing framework without challenging the fundamental nature of the system. It's about doing things better without necessarily altering the core processes, values, or structures.Second-level Change: Sometimes termed as transitional or developmental change. This level goes beyond just making improvements and might involve moderate restructuring or the introduction of new processes, technologies, or goals. However, the foundational elements of the system largely remain.Third-level Change: Known as transformational or radical change. This level represents a complete overhaul of systems, processes, culture, or structure. It's about doing things differently, not just better. Third-level changes often challenge the underlying assumptions, values, and paradigms of an organization or system. They can be disruptive but are necessary when the existing models no longer serve the organization's purpose or vision.It's crucial to understand that while third-level changes can bring about significant benefits, they also come with risks, challenges, and the need for extensive planning and stakeholder buy-in.
