GETTYSBURG, Pa., March 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The decade long science-to-service lag in health care is a big obstacle for executives and providers to overcome, especially when it comes to research-based clinical decisions making their way to consumers. However, many health and human service organizations have access to a wealth of data in their electronic medical records to drive clinical decision making. The challenge is how to get it out to support an organization's decision support tools.
To address these issues, OPEN MINDS and Netsmart are hosting a special online event, "Going With the (Knowledge) Flow: The Future of Decision-Making in Improving Outcomes" on March 27 at 2:00 PM EST. Drs. Chuang and Morrison will discuss how health and human services providers can leverage clinical decision support, or knowledge flow, in strategic planning and day-to-day operations, and how electronic health records support improved outcomes. This executive development session will include:
- An overview of the current science and adoption of knowledge flow and clinical decision support
- Presentation of case studies demonstrating how electronic health records are evolving beyond digital versions of paper forms and becoming platforms for credible care guidance
- An in-depth discussion of how EHR-informed decision support can improve organizational competitive advantage
