4. Select three types of clinical decision support systems and evaluate their usefulness and drawbacks (if any).
5. The purpose of this assignment is to make a data collection plan for a provided scenario.
Currently, the hospital in which you work has implemented a new clinical practice that will reduce the amount of radiation to a child's brain. The child enters the emergency room with a head injury and a Glasgow coma score of 14 or more, and the child is not vomiting. It has been asked that the physician not order a CT scan. To ensure that all physicians are in compliance with the practice, a report will need to be generated for the chief compliance officers at each facility. To generate the report, you are asked to create a data collection plan. In twelve hundreds words, address following criteria for the data collection plan:
- Consider health informatics regulations and standards regarding the collection of personal data. Identify what data elements would be needed to pull the report from the electronic health record.
- Discuss the essential questions that you would ask in order to ensure that you are collecting the correct data (e.g., Do they want the report to be on ongoing? Do they want just a single report?).
- Explain how the data collected will improve or influence compliance.
- Describe how you can use clinical decision support (CDS) at the point of patient care to improve compliance?
- Develop one to two techniques for communication and collaboration among stakeholders
