AHRQ Webinar on Clinical Decision Support

Materials from January 21 Webinar on Evaluating Measures of Success Using Clinical Decision Support

AHRQ has made available the materials from its January 21 Webinar on “Evaluating Measures of Success Using Clinical Decision Support” on its National Resource Center for Health Information Technology.

The event, the last in a series of four teleconferences, discussed the continuum of methods, benefits and challenges of clinical decision support (CDS) evaluation. Presenters discussed the necessity and appropriateness of matching evaluation methods to what key stakeholders in CDS projects want to know; expanded on the features that should be evaluated in every CDS implementation, described specific structure, process and outcome measures; outlined obstacles to successful CDS evaluation and the means to overcome those obstacles; discussed evaluation methods of a large, randomized CDS clinical trial funded by AHRQ and the trial’s findings regarding improvements in process measures and challenges that remain in effecting clinical outcomes; and shared work examining alert fatigue and techniques to mitigate its occurrence.
