Description
A significant return-on-investment from the implementation of electronic health records with computerized prescriber order entry comes from the utilization of clinical decision support tools to guide the safe and effective prescribing of medications. The set of Stage 2 Meaningful Use Core Measures validates the value and emphasizes the importance of using these tools with the inclusion of two core measures on this topic. Health systems interested in pursuing stimulus incentives while improving medication prescribing must utilize clinical decision support tools within the EHR–find out how in this session.
- Describe Meaningful Use objectives which incorporate clinical decision support utilization in the EHR.
- Discuss challenges related to specificity and alert fatigue with drug-drug interaction and drug-allergy checking.
- Propose a method for identifying high-value clinical decision support rules to support Meaningful Use objective attainment at your institution.
