A National Webinar on the
Use of Clinical Decision Support to Improve Medication Management
Date: October 1, 2013
Time: 2:30-4:00 p.m., EDT
Overall Purpose:
The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) has identified a gap in health care and public health
practitioners’ knowledge of health IT using multiple mechanisms, including the
findings of the continuing education (CE) planning group. This series of
Webinars is designed to increase practitioners’ ability to improve health care
decisionmaking, support patient-centered care, and improve the quality and
safety of care through the use of health IT. This session will identify
strategies for using clinical decision support (CDS) to improve appropriate
prescribing, dosing, and monitoring of medications by health care providers.
The projects presented will discuss the role of CDS in enhanced medication
management for pediatric, adult, and mental health care.
Learning Objectives:
1)
Discuss the implementation of an EHR-based CDS application at the point of care
on appropriate prescribing of antibiotics in otitis media care.
2)
Describe the evaluation of an EHR-integrated CDS system’s use of measurement-based
care to improve medication management of patients with major depressive
disorder.
3)
Discuss the assessment of CDS point-of-care alerts and an ambulatory EHR
results management system in addressing laboratory monitoring and timely
followup on abnormal results.
