Create a slide presentation on clinical decision support (CDS) systems for a new hire orientation
Create a slide presentation (20 minutes; 12-15 slides) on clinical decision support (CDS) systems for a new hire orientation. Address CDS functions, users, and the distinctions among coded, non-coded, structured, and unstructured EHR data entry. Include audio recording and speaker notes with presentation. Clinical decision support (CDS) systems have been a discussion topic in the health care and research communities for the past 20 or 30 years. While these systems have demonstrated potential, few have been implemented in a health care setting. A CDS system is actually multiple solutions and technologies with the underlying goal of transforming health care data into useful information. A CDS system, or intervention, is an application that analyzes data to assist health care providers in making clinical decisions. Most CDS applications are components of electronic health record systems. They can also, however, stand alone. A number of types of CDS systems exist along with various tools to enhance the decision-making process. Some CDS systems support administrative activities. Others involve clinical details and protocols and treatment processes. A successful CDS system implementation requires the ability to identify CDS end-users and their roles in mitigating risks and issues. Another critical factor in successful CDS system implementations is the ability to select a CDS system that supports organizational goals and stakeholders. Now, imagine that you are a data analyst. The HIM director has asked you to deliver a presentation on the CDS system at a new hire orientation. The HIM director hopes your presentation can provide new hires with a solid foundational understanding of a CDS system, or intervention. In particular, she wants you to address CDS functions and the importance of CDS users. These individuals are critical to system acceptance, resolution of system issues, and other performance strategies. In your presentation, you will want to incorporate what you have learned in the EHR Go preparatory activities that are part of this assessment. In addition, you will be submitting a voice-over narration with your slides and speaker notes. DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCY By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Examine analytics and decision support.
Describe CDS systems\\\’ functions and users.
Distinguish between coded, non-coded, structured, and unstructured data entry in the EHR.
Evaluate the clinical implications of structured versus unstructured data entry in the EHR.
Explain how clinical decision support functions contribute to patient outcomes.
Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a professional manner.
Create a clear, well organized, professional presentation that is generally free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references.
This first activity introduces basic navigational skills to review and enter data in an EHR.
EHR Go: EHR Orientation.
This second activity focuses on what the EHR can do and how it can be used.
EHR Go: The Power of the EHR for CDS.
Set up and test your microphone or headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone.
Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
Microsoft PowerPoint allows you to record your narration with your slides. If you choose to record your presentation using this tool, simply submit your presentation to the appropriate area of the courseroom. Your narration will be included with your slides.
Consult the Using Kaltura [PDF] for guidance in how to record your presentation and upload it in the courseroom if you elect not to use Microsoft PowerPoint to submit your slides and narration.
How will you open your presentation in a way that engages your audience? For example, consider a compelling quote, a startling fact or statistic, or a thought-provoking question
What is a CDS System?
What are the three to five major functions of a CDS system?
Who are the main users of CDS systems?
How do these users contribute to successful CDS system implementation and usage?
How do CDS functions contribute to patient outcomes?
What is coded data entry? Why is this important to new hires? (1 slide).
What is non-coded data entry? Why is this important to new hires? (1 slide).
What is structured data entry? Why is this important to new hires? (1 slide).
What is unstructured data entry? Why is this important to new hires? (1 slide).
How can you present this information in a table, chart, graphic, et cetera to help new hires keep these terms straight? (1 slide).
What are the clinical implications of structured vs. unstructured data entry?
What are the three or four most critical takeaways that you want new hires to retain from your presentation?
What do you anticipate are the three to five questions new hires will have about your presentation?
Note: This will help prepare you to respond effectively to the new hires\\\’ questions.
What credible resources did you draw on for your presentation in case new hires want to learn more?
Format: Slide deck with 12–15 slides and speaker notes. Include your voice-over narration (maximum of 20 minutes) with your slides.
Visuals: Balance visuals and text in your slides. Incorporate appropriate charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, pictures, visuals, et cetera to help convey your message. Avoid making your slides too text heavy. Place additional information in your speaker notes.
APA: Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references. This guide is a good refresher on APA style and formatting guidelines: APA Style and Format.
Writing: Create a clear, well organized, professional presentation that is generally free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
