This is a review of Miller, Phipps, Chatterjee, Rajeevan, Levin, Frawley, and Tokuno’s 2014 article, Exploring a Clinically Friendly Web-Based Approach to Clinical Decision Support Linked to the Electronic Health Record: Design Philosophy, Prototype Implementation, and Framework for Assessment.[1]

Introduction

Clinical decision support (CDS) is a health IT component which aids clinicians in the decision making process during a patient visit. The goal of CDS is to provide overall better care for patients through the use of specific tools: [2]

  • Computerized alerts and reminders to care providers and patients
  • Clinical guidelines
  • Condition-specific order sets
  • Focused patient data reports and summaries
  • Documentation templates
  • Diagnostic support and contextually relevant reference information

The authors in this article are testing whether CDS can be implemented into EHRs in a clinician friendly manner. The team worked on the VA’s national EHR and implemented a specific prototype involving Neuropath/CDS. Previous studies have shown the importance of CDS during clinical decision-making.
