A task force of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society has made available to the industry a collaboration tool to assist in deploying clinical decision support systems.
The HIMSS Clinical Decision Support task force initially created CDS Wiki as an internal tool for members, including six delivery systems with 50 hospitals. Initial efforts focused on synthesizing best practices for addressing specific issues, such as prevention of venous thromboembolism.
Now, other industry participants are invited to collaborate on how to apply clinical decision support to achieve meaningful use of information technology, such as enhancing guidance to improve medication use and outcomes.
