  • Bytes to Bedside: Collaborative Development for Translational Clinical Decision Support (UG3TR004803)

    Current models of operations and research involving clinical decision support (CDS) are too site-specific, not scalable, and do not measure translational outcomes. We propose to create a collaborative infrastructure centered around reusable CDS metrics that more effectively measures clinical outcomes and compares these benefits against the tradeoffs of alert burden and fatigue. Through our collaborative approach across ten CTSA Hubs, this study will be the first to use a translational science approach to understand the impact of CDS systems.

Scientific Presentations

  • CDS RoundUp: Exterminating Roaches in Clinical Decision Support

    This panel highlights some of the Pediatric CDS Collaborative’s most ignominious CDS roaches – hard to kill tools that far outlived their utility – to share hard earned lessons and successes organized as roach facts

  • Catastrophic Disaster Stories: Tales of CDS Gone Wrong and Lessons Learned

    In this panel, we describe some of our most inglorious misfires as case vignettes in clinical decision support (CDS) implementation to share hard-earned lessons organized into 8 sociotechnical dimensions.

  • Pediatric Clinical Decision Support Collaborative: Benchmarking Across Institutions to Measure and Manage Alert Burden

    We discuss benefits and challenges in developing a pediatric learning collaborative for clinical decision support benchmarking and sharing of best practices, describe the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to alert burden measurement, demonstrate how alert prioritization can inform quality improvement initiatives to reduce alert burden, examine unique measurement challenges for non-EHR alerts such as phone calls and text messages, and discuss strategies for linking alert burden analytics to governance strategies that facilitate improvement.
