Definition
Clinical decision support is a process for
enhancing health-related decisions and actions
with pertinent, organized clinical knowledge
and patient information, to improve health and
healthcare delivery.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Components
• Information recipients
• Include patients, clinicians and others involved in
patient care delivery
• Information delivered
• Include general clinical knowledge and guidance,
intelligently processed patient data, or a mixture of
both
• Information delivery formats
• Drawn from a rich palette of options that includes
data and order entry facilitators, filtered data
displays, reference information, alerts, and others.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Like a GPS, CDS supplies information tailored to the current
situation, and organized for maximum value.
A simple and classic CDS example:
Drug warnings
A More Elaborate CDS Example:
Order Sets
Types of CDS
• Drug-Drug Interactions
• Drug-Allergy interactions
• Dose Range Checking
• Pick lists
• Standardized evidence based
order sets
• Links to knowledge
references
• Links to local policies
• Alerts
• Rules to meet strategic
objectives (core measures,
antibiotic usage, blood
management)
• Documentation templates
• Relevant data displays
• Point of care reference
information (i.e. InfoButtons)
• Web based reference
information
• Diagnostic decision support
tools

Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Advantages of CDS
• Quality
• By guiding users to best practices
• Safety
• By verifying an action was the intended one
• Cost
• Catching duplicate or unnecessary orders
• Documentation
• By bringing forth documentation tools based on a diagnosis or
problem
• Communication
• Of system priorities or initiatives
• Among providers of patient status
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Disadvantages of CDS
• Speed
• Usability and workflow
• Avoiding over-alerting
• Cultural change
• Management backing
• Clinical leadership backing
• Improve the human-computer interface
• Disseminate best practices in CDS design,
development, and implementation
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
• Summarize patient-level information
• Prioritize and filter recommendations to the user
• Create an architecture for sharing executable CDS
modules and services
• Combine recommendations for patients with comorbidities
• Prioritize CDS content development and implementation
• Create internet-accessible clinical decision support
repositories
• Use free text information to drive clinical decision support
• Mine large clinical databases to create new CDS
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
CDS and Success Factors
The “ten commandments” are:
A. Speed is everything
B. Anticipate needs and deliver in real time
C. Fit into the user’s workflow
D. Little things can make a big difference
E. Recognize that physicians will strongly resist stopping
F. Changing directions is easier than stopping
G. Simple interventions work best
H. Ask for additional information only when you really need it
I. Monitor impact, get feedback and respond
J. Manage and maintain your knowledge-based systems
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
CDS Five Rights
Right person
Right information
Right channel
Right point in workflow
Right CDS intervention format
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
CDS is a Strategic Tool
CDS is a strategic tool for achieving an
organizations priority care delivery objectives.
– Some objectives are driven by external forces
such as payment models and regulations related to
improving care quality and safety
– Other objectives are driven by internal needs for
improving quality and patient safety, reducing
medical errors, increasing efficiency and other
performance enhancements.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
CDS and Need for Leadership
• CDS interventions impact workflow throughout
an organization; therefore leadership at all
levels must understand and support the efforts
• CDS programs require ongoing investment of
capital and personnel
• A champion is required to be a change agent
and lead the charge
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
CDS Does Not Make Policy
• CDS should not be thought of as the only
tool available to solve the organization’s
problems or communicate change. There are
clear limitations to CDS interventions.
• When new policies or procedures are
established, they should be thoroughly
discussed by all relevant stakeholders before
they appear in a CDS intervention.

SCENARIOS via HIMSS
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Scenario A
You are a nurse on a busy med-surg unit in an
acute care hospital. Every time you administer a
medication, you are required to scan the bar
codes of your patient’s wristband and the
medication. Occasionally, this process prompts
an alert (CDS Type: Critiques and Warnings) that
the medication you are about to administer is
contraindicated for your patient at this time. You
contact the attending physician to communicate
this and obtain an order for an alternate
medication.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Scenario B
You are a primary care physician in a large
group practice that uses an electronic health
record (EHR). At the beginning of each visit,
you view a dashboard (CDS Type: Relevant
Data Summary) of preventive care
measures – such as flu vaccine, colon
cancer screening, cholesterol tests – that are
due for your patient, based on age, medical
history (problem list), and medication list
stored in the EHR.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Scenario C
You are a care manager in an emergency
department. Thirty patients are in the unit right now,
and new lab results, imaging studies, and orders are
constantly being posted on all of them. You have a
visual “air traffic” tracking display (CDS Type: MultiPatient Monitor) which indicates which patients have
not been seen yet, which have new orders to
process, which have abnormal lab results, which
ones have been in the unit more than four hours,
which have inpatient beds ready, and more. Your
status display filters and reformats all the information
to help you know where to direct your attention next.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Scenario D
You are an attending physician in an urban emergency
department. A 60 year old male presents complaining of pain and
swelling in the right leg. Upon examination, you observe red
discoloration on the surface of the right calf with the appearance of
visible surface veins. Suspecting a possible deep vein thrombosis
(DVT), you prepare to admit the patient and go to order
heparin. When you choose the DVT order set In the CPOE
system (CDS Type: Order Sets/Care Plans/Protocols), it highlights
a link to an updated American College of Chest Physicians
guideline (CDS Type: Filtered Reference Information and
Knowledge Resources), which suggests that low-molecular-weight
heparin may be a better medication for certain patients. After
reading the new information, you decide to change from heparin to
enoxaparin, and another option in the order set facilitates the
proper dosing of the new medication.
Dr. Radica Bissoondial
Scenario E
You are an ICU physician. You are in your office at the hospital
and you receive vital signs trends on your patients using your
smart phone. You set a “smart alert” on a particular elderly patient
on mechanical ventilation whom you suspect may be prone to
sepsis (CDS Type: Event-Driven Alert). You are notified of the vital
signs trends on your patient which show, among other parameters,
a noticeable increase in temperature and heart rate over the past
hour and decreasing urine output, as indicated from the Intake and
Output accumulations. You call the unit to verify these data, and
decide to access the CPOE system to order stat blood tests to
confirm the onset of sepsis, and you also start antibiotics. The
EMR notifies you that your patient is allergic to one of the
particular antibiotics you were originally ordering (CDS Type:
Critiques and Warnings), so you select one that has no
contraindications.

Disadvantages of healthcare data science
Disadvantage
Description
Capture
Capturing data that is clean, complete, accurate, and formatted correctly for
use in multiple systems is an ongoing battle for organizations, many of
which aren’t on the winning side of the conflict.
Cleaning
Data cleaning – also known as cleansing or scrubbing – ensures that
datasets are accurate, correct, consistent, relevant, and not corrupted in
any way
Storage
As the volume of healthcare data grows exponentially, some providers are
no longer able to manage the costs and impacts of on premise data
centers.
Security
Data security is the number one priority for healthcare organizations,
especially in the wake of a rapid-fire series of high profile breaches,
hackings, and ransomware episodes. From phishing attacks to malware to
laptops accidentally left in a cab, healthcare data is subject to a nearly
infinite array of vulnerabilities.
Disadvantages of healthcare data science
Disadvantage
Description
Stewardship
Understanding when the data was created, by whom, and for what purpose
– as well as who has previously used the data, why, how, and when – is
important for researchers and data analysts.
Querying
Robust metadata and strong stewardship protocols also make it easier for
organizations to query their data and get the answers that they are
expecting. The ability to query data is foundational for reporting and
analytics, but healthcare organizations must typically overcome a number
of challenges before they can engage in meaningful analysis of their big
data assets.
Reporting
Once again, the accuracy and integrity of the data has a
critical downstream impact on the accuracy and reliability of the
report. Poor data at the outset will produce suspect reports at the end of
the process, which can be detrimental for clinicians who are trying to use
the information to treat patients..
Disadvantages of healthcare data science
Disadvantage
Description
Visualization
Organizations must also consider good data presentation practices, such
as charts that use proper proportions to illustrate contrasting figures, and
correct labeling of information to reduce potential confusion. Convoluted
flowcharts, cramped or overlapping text, and low-quality graphics can
frustrate and annoy recipients, leading them to ignore or misinterpret data.
Updating
Understanding the volatility of big data, or how often and to what degree it
changes, can be a challenge for organizations that do not consistently
monitor their data assets
Sharing
Fundamental differences in the way electronic health records are
designed and implemented can severely curtail the ability to move data
between disparate organizations, often leaving clinicians without
information they need to make key decisions, follow up with patients, and
develop strategies to improve overall outcomes.
Applications of healthcare data science
• IBM’s Watson Diagnosing Health Care Patients
• How big data could transform the health care industry
Applications of healthcare data
science
Web and social media data: Clickstream and interaction data from Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, blogs, and the like. It can also include health plan websites, smartphone apps
Machine to machine data: readings from remote sensors, meters, and other vital sign
devices
Big transaction data: health care claims and other billing records increasingly available
in semi-structured and unstructured formats
Biometric data: finger prints, genetics, handwriting, retinal scans, x-ray and other
medical images, blood pressure, pulse and pulse-oximetry readings, and other similar
types of data [6]. 5. Human-generated data: unstructured and semi-structured data such
as EMRs, physicians notes, email, and paper documents

offering goods or services.
Innovation
Unleashing Innovation commissioned by Honorable Rona
Ambrose with 2 goals:
Identify the five most promising areas of innovation in
Canada and internationally that have the potential to
sustainably reduce growth in health spending while leading
to improvements in the quality and accessibility of care
Recommend the five ways the federal government could
support innovation in the areas identified above
Trends and Role of
Government
Perspectives Performance of Canada’s

Barriers to the Scaling-Up of Innovative Ideas:
• Lack of meaningful patient engagement
• Outmoded human resources model
• System fragmentation
• Inadequate health data and information management capacity
• Lack of effective deployment of digital technology
• Barriers for entrepreneurs
• A risk-averse culture
• Inadequate focus on understanding and optimizing innovation
Trends and Role of
Government
Themes emerging from reviewing healthcare
system:
• the lack of an integrated and patient-centred
healthcare system
• the importance of efficiency and value-formoney in ensuring system sustainability
• the need to build a shared knowledge-base and
learn from it to improve services for patients and
overall system management.
Trends and Role of
Government
Pan-Canadian health organizations
(PCHOs) have shown themselves able to
function across jurisdictions, bridge
federal-provincial-territorial sensitivities in
healthcare, and, albeit with uneven
success, provide leadership and
coordination in important areas
Partnership and Patient
Engagement
Challenges which can become opportunities
with innovation:
• patient want ‘in’
•
•
•
•
Canada’s population is changing rapidly
digital revolution is disrupting healthcare
rapid growth in healthcare spending is over
healthcare social program and economic
asset
Partnership and Patient
Engagement
“The federal government should establish a National Health
System Innovation Fund targeted to provinces and
territories to support the adoption of health system
innovations. Funding criteria should be designed to not only
support the development of these innovations but to incent
their adoption on a scaled-up basis.”
“The federal government must play a leadership role in
collaborating with jurisdictional counterparts in the formation
of a pan-Canadian health mechanism to identify, promote
and advance needed healthcare innovation.”
Recommendations to Federal Government –
Patient engagement
Starting in 2015-16, create a ten
year Healthcare Innovation Fund
with a gradual ramp-up, ideally
reaching steady-state by 2020
Create the Healthcare Innovation
Agency of Canada to work with a
range of stakeholders as well as
governments to set the long-term
vision for the healthcare system
and healthcare innovation goals
across the Panel’s proposed five
areas of focus
Shift funding and staff for both the
Canadian Foundation for
Healthcare Improvement and the
Canadian Patient Safety Institute to
the new Healthcare Innovation
Agency of Canada
Continue Canada Health Infoway
pro tem as a separate organization
with staffing to complete projects
currently underway. Once the new
Agency is established, fold relevant
functions from Infoway into the
Agency, and flow future federal
funding for digital health through
the Innovation Fund
