AHRQ Health IT Update: AHRQ Report on Clinical Decision Support

AHRQ Report and Videos Show How to Successfully Implement CDS A new report and accompanying videos from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), “Findings and Lessons from AHRQ’s Clinical Decision Support Demonstration Projects,” show how organizations can successfully develop, implement, and evaluate the best methods and approaches for incorporating clinical decision support (CDS) into clinical workflows. The report and accompanying videos show the approaches Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine took toward creating processes and tools for translating clinical knowledge and narrative guidelines into formats that can be used by multiple electronic health record (EHR) systems and for implementing CDS across a range of care settings.  For more information on this initiative, including the report and videos, please go tohttp://healthit.ahrq.gov/ahrq-funded-projects/clinical-decision-support-cds-initiative.
