Wolters Kluwer Roundtables Offer Insight, Discussion At HIMSS15

By Katie Wike, contributing writer

Join Wolters Kluwer at HIMSS15 to learn more about clinical decision support, CPOE, informatics, and more with their educational sessions and roundtable discussions.

According to Health IT Outcomes, researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public Health found that EHRs with clinical decision support have been proven to provide better care than those without.

“In contrast with some other studies, we found that the use of CDS functions was associated with improvements in measures of health quality at a national level,” the authors concluded. “In addition, decisions to disable these CDS functions, although infrequent, negated these increases in care quality. With the continued implementation of meaningful use, there should be a further decline in practices without EHRs or that choose not to implement or to disable CDS.”

It’s easy to learn how the same type of software could work for your practice. HIMSS15 features Wolters Kluwer’s roundtable series which will delve into the specifics needed for successful use of clinical decision support, informatics, and computerized physician order entry. Using software like this, providers are able to achieve better outcomes for patients and ease the financial burdens of healthcare.

Roundtable discussions for the week include:

● Preparing for an Infectious Disease Outbreak: Why Informatics and Clinical Decision Support are Key

● How LifePoint Hospitals Achieved Order Set Usability and High CPOE Adoption Across Multiple EHRs

● Pivot to Population Health Management: Promoting the use of Clinical Decision Support and Evidence-based Order Sets
