Hello all,
Again, I have learned so much from this module about clinical decision making. I hope it doesn't leak out. The readings and the assignment gave me the opportunity to learn new software and technology. I am really excited about the TheraDoc program. Evidence-based information right at our finger tips. I think using clinical decision support interventions improves communication to the whole team which includes the physician, NP, nurse, dietician, caregivers, and patient. "Brokel states that clinical decision support provides the clinicians or patients with clinical knowledge and patient related information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance patient care (2009)." So we will all be better informed and educated about the patient's needs and expectations of their healthcare experience.

Good points Lauri, I agree CDSS can help stream line and cordinate patient care among clinicians and different diciplines.
