Friday, 3/22 at 2 pm EDT: Using Clinical Decision Support in Safety Net Provider Settings

Health Resources and Services Administration Health Information Technology and Quality Webinar "Using Clinical Decision Support in Safety Net Provider Settings" Friday, March 22, 2013,2:00 PM EDT This webinar explores how safety net providers can implement and use a clinical decision support (CDS) system. A CDS complements an electronic health record, helping to ensure that all patients in a practice receive appropriate and timely preventive services and the right test, the right medication, and the right treatment. Meaningful use requires that each clinician implement one CDS rule relevant to his/her specialty or clinical priority along with the capability to track compliance with the rule. Webinar presenters, representing health centers and rural providers, will share their experiences using CDS to enhance their quality of care within a safety net provider setting. Issues to be discussed include: How CDS can be integrated into the existing workflow How to use CDS to ensure quality care across various health care providers How to leverage internal or external data to track compliance Presenters are: Clinical and Quality Leaders from the Community Health Center, Inc.
