450Clinical Decision-Making Tools and Health Equity

Clinical Requirement:

The purpose of this assignment is to examine Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to determine their application in addressing health equity. Develop a presentation outlining task force goals and relevant information for implementing a CDSS system to improve equity of care and promote health for all patients. This assignment has indirect care experience requirements. The "Indirect Care Experience Hours" form, found in the Topic 3 Resources, will be used to document the indirect care experience hours completed in Topics 3, 4 and 5. As progress is made on this and subsequent assignments, update this form indicating the date(s) each section is completed. This form will be submitted in Topic 5. In your role as a nurse informaticist, you have been asked by the Chief Informatics Officer (CIO) to evaluate several clinical decision-making tools to be used by your organization's stakeholders. The selected Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) will be used to analyze the current state of health equity and information literacy in your organization. Your first step is to create a task force of stakeholders to participate in the CDSS selection process. Prepare a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation for the first task force meeting to include these agenda items: Reason for the Project: Explain the organizational need, reason for the project, rationale for implementing a clinical decision-making tool in your organization. Discuss how CDSS can improve health equity and information literacy in your organization. Task Force Selection: Explain why you have been selected to lead this project. In your speaker notes, explain the role of each stakeholder and why they were selected to serve on this task force. Research: Conduct research and identify one popular CDSS system used in the health care industry, include a description of the CDSS system. Basic Concepts of Systems: Review the information and communication technologies (in the electronic health record, mobile health, and telehealth systems). Select one communication technology and discuss how a clinical decision-making tool can be incorporated to improve health equity in patient care. Crucial Functionality: Describe the crucial functions of the selected CDSS. Explain why it is essential to the clinical workflow. Explain the impact of the CDSS on health information exchange, interoperability, and integration of health care. Task Force Communication: Describe how communication technologies support documentation of care and communication among providers and patients at all system levels. Discuss how communication technology will be used to communicate with the task force members during the project.
