Clinical Decision Support System Analysis

Intermountain Healthcare has encircled analytics to improve operations in order to achieve better health care outcomes and make a big difference in patients’ lives.

There are many different aspects of Advance Practice Nursing (APN) make that make the nursing profession unique and valuable. The competencies that comprise each advanced practice nursing discipline are vital in creating a solid foundation for clinical nursing. They prepare you to conquer challenges in the clinical setting and cultivate innovation to establish processes for clinical practice.

The Joint Commission’s tracer methodology is used to ensure compliance standards are met, as well as to “trace” and document the level of care provided to patients in order to make improvements to the facility’s health care delivery system. Patients requiring services that utilize the entire continuum of care spectrum are selected in an effort to gather sufficient information needed to identify areas with potential risks and safety concerns. As the patients’ course of care progresses across the system, Joint Commission surveyors evaluate each department 's policy and procedure on data management, infection control and medication management process.

Depending on the type of office and the patients there in, will determine what electronic health system you will need. Some doctors have patients that need a high level of care and lots of tests and other documented information, like cardiology. Other offices might be able to use a simple program because they don 't have many patients or the patients they do have don 't require extensive documentation. You have to consider the amount of time you may, or may not have to train the staff and get all the information transferred. Once the needs of the facility are determined, it is then important to decide on a system that will coincide. A beneficial EHR system will have great customer service, keep up on technological advances and good

In my opinion, I think that physician order entry help reduce errors and save patients time. Ther is research that shows CPOE can reduce 48% compared with paper based orders. Computerized Physician Order Entry is a process that allows health care providers to use a computer to directly enter medical orders electronically as well as laboratory, admission, radiology, referral, and procedure orders. The primary benefit of CPOE is that it can help reduce errors related to poor handwriting or transcription of medication orders (Margaret Rouse, 2014). In hospitals, CPOE essentially eliminates the need for paper, handwritten orders and achieves cost savings through greater efficiency. CPOE systems with clinical decision support systems can improve

The core information system collects data from various sources and reorganizes it to optimize data presentation and facilitate physician work flow.

Standardization is a hot topic in today’s healthcare industry. Data standardization is the critical process of bringing data into a common format

For information to be of value and influence medical decision making, it must be comprehensive, accessible, useful, and valid (Fitterer, Mettler, Rohner, & Winter, 2011). This can be measured by reviewing charts to ensure that required fields are documented and confirming that the information available is what was entered and can be traced back to the appropriate data entry point. As Jackson et al (2011) indicate, it is important to determine the needs of users, such as healthcare providers and patients, to make sure that they are receiving value from the system.

Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), with various data mining techniques being applied to assist physicians in diagnosing patient disease with similar symptoms, has received a great attention recently. The advantages of clinical decision support system include not only improving diagnosis accuracy but also reducing diagnosis time. In this paper, we have given the CDSS with some advance technologies like Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier has offered many advantages over the traditional healthcare systems and opens a new way for clinicians to predict patient’s diseases. As healthcare is the field in which Security of data related to patient diseases are needs to be more secure, for that in this paper, we have use RSA

Omnicell was found in 1992 by Randall A Lipps an industrial engineer. Omnicell is an automated medication and supply cabinet systems enable remote dispensing of needed medications at the point of care. Authorized caregivers can access most medications from the Omnicell automated medication cabinet, which easily stores up to 700 different items (Automated Dispensing Cabinets, 2016). Omnicell is a California-based technology company that manufactures and sells automation products and services for hospital pharmacies, nursing units, specialty clinics, and operating rooms (Omnicell, Inc.). The company 's goal is to help hospitals improve patient safety and reduce costs of administering drugs and supplies within a single system. And to integrate data, improve visibility to analytics, and streamline pharmacy and nursing workflows.

Northwell Health created a special Task Force focused on reduction of sepsis related deaths in the Emergency Department, as stated in the article “Reducing Sepsis Mortality.” The goal is to teach medical staff to recognize the signs and symptoms within an hour of patients arriving to the Emergency Department. This recognition then leads to a course of specific actions, such as, “ Early administration of antibiotics to septic patients, returning serum lactate test results to physicians, who could identify severe sepsis, starting empiric fluids quickly and appropriately,” as explained by Friedman, Gallo, Riebling and Doerfler. Northwell Health’s dedication and desire to improve the outcome of these patients lead to an understanding of the need

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are one of the best ways to increase the quality of patient care. Digital EMRs mean that physicians can make better clinical decisions because they have instant access to complete medical histories. In addition to this, physicians can also access different medical documentation, such as x-rays, lab results and the prescription history. For example, the physician will be

The scope of the UBC Pharmacy Practice Residency Program is to provide residents with the structured, strong and varied learning opportunities needed to develop the scientific background, talents and professional attributes necessary for direct patient care roles and innovative practice of pharmacy.

Practicum has been a great opportunity for me to connect and integrate all the knowledge I have acquired through out this program into a more effectively clinical practice. The way I came to realize this was during one of my shifts where I was exposed to a difficult situation but thanks to my skills I was able to proceed in a safety manner. The purpose of this journal entry is to describe how my intervention made a difference in the client outcome and a brief explanation of the competencies and skills used.
