Lessons Learned from Real-World Applications of Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support

Description:

Patient engagement applications, medical devices, and clinical decision support tools are increasingly used to support the management of clinical conditions and shared decision-making. Often, patient-generated health data (PGHD) from these tools are not integrated into a patient’s electronic health record (EHR), which hampers clinician workflows, patient-clinician engagement, and clinical decision-making.

Our expert panel of speakers shared actionable findings from two pilots that deployed patient-centered clinical decision support (CDS) interventions that combined PGHD with clinical data from the EHR to support remote patient monitoring at Yale New Haven Health. Speakers will:

• Share challenges and lessons learned from a pilot monitoring COVID-19 patients, presenting viewpoints from both a developer and health system.
• Describe how the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pilot were applied to the following pilot that monitored patients with postpartum hypertension.
• Provide actionable findings from both pilots that can be used by healthcare providers, researchers, CDS developers and health systems in their own real-world CDS implementation.
• Identify gaps and potential new areas for patient-centered CDS development.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand how patient-centered CDS can be used to support health care delivery by efficiently monitoring patients remotely, collecting PGHD, and reducing clinician burden.
2. Learn the challenges encountered in the real-world integration of patient-centered CDS tools in an EHR system.
3. Gather actionable strategies to mitigate challenges encountered in the real-world integration of CDS into EHR systems.
