https://academic.oup.com/jamiaopen/article/7/4/ooae109/7833305 Clinical Decision Support Collaborative Identifies Priorities To Improve Patient and Clinician Decision Making An article published in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association Open discusses insights from the May 2023 meeting of AHRQ’s Clinical Decision Support Innovation Collaborative, a community of diverse stakeholders organized and funded by AHRQ’s Digital Healthcare Research Program who use technology to support care teams, patients and caregivers. The collaborative’s meeting brought together more than 70 participants—including healthcare providers, researchers, patients and technology developers—to consider how to advance patient-centered clinical decision support (PC-CDS). The group identified priorities to improve how patients and clinicians make health decisions together. Themes included establishing feedback loops between patients and clinicians, enhancing workflows, expanding research and ensuring health equity. They also explored the potential role of artificial intelligence and considered ways to make PC-CDS scalable.
