Location:

Description:
Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support (PCCDS) is clinical decision support (CDS) that assists individual patients and their approved caregivers and/or care teams in health-related decisions and actions by leveraging information from PCOR findings and patient-specific information (e.g., patient-reported outcomes).
PCCDS can improve outcomes of care and save lives if properly implemented. Emerging technologies and the transition to more data transparency provide unique opportunities for patients, caregivers, clinicians, vendors, and other stakeholders to transform how PCCDS is being developed and used within the healthcare industry.
The Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support Learning Network (PCCDS-LN), a new Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-supported effort, is hosting a one day meeting to bring together diverse stakeholders to learn about and discuss the key issues around developing, disseminating, and applying PCCDS.
