Clinical pathway: with CDS support
Patient on Glitazonetreatment and cardiacinsufficiency diagnosed
= input to DS engine. = output from DS engine
CDS: why?
•Staying up to date with drug information
•Identifying therapeutic conflicts
•Managing large volumes of medical and patient
data often in different systems
•Reducing medical error and improving safety
•Improving productivity and assisting with coding
compliance and reimbursement
