October 23, 2024: CDSiC Lightning Talks at the Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) Global Meeting

The 2024 MCBK Global Meeting focused on exploring generative AI, including the role generative AI can play in improving human health by mobilizing computable knowledge around the world. 

The CDSiC’s work was highlighted in two lightning talks:

• Prioritizing Patient Preferences for Standardization to Support PC CDS, part of the Standards, Interoperability, Metadata for CBK breakout room.
• Considerations and Opportunities for the Use of Artificial Intelligence to Scale PC CDS, part of the Synergy Between Goal-Based CBK and Generative AI breakout room.

Materials from the Global Meeting are available on the MCBK website, and presentation recordings are available on MCBK's YouTube channel.

September 27, 2023: ONC Tech Forum Workshop on the Future of Clinical Decision Support, Featuring the CDSiC

In fall 2023, ONC hosted a series of virtual Tech Forum workshops about clinical decision support. The second session highlighted the CDSiC’s work to facilitate the codesign of CDS and develop a comprehensive CDS measurement lifecycle. Session 2 also shared information on a range of CDS-focused efforts, including AHRQ’s PC CDS work, strategies for using CDS for fall prevention, and specific examples of CDS tools such as a patient-generated health data visualization toolkit. Click here to access a recording of Session 2.

November 7, 2022: Future Directions for Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support: What Have We Learned and Where Do We Go Next?

Featuring Leadership Team members from the CDSiC, panelists at this AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium session discussed findings and lessons learned from an evaluation of AHRQ’s Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) CDS initiative and two health system-based PC CDS pilots. Panelists also shared future directions for advancing PC CDS over the next decade. Slides for this panel discussion are available for registered attendees on AMIA’s website.

June 7, 2022: Advancing Patient-Centeredness in Clinical Decision Support

Prashila Dullabh, Maria Michaels, Sarah Krug, Nitu Kashyap, and Edwin Lomotan hosted a panel at AcademyHealth’s 2022 Annual Research Meeting on advancing PC CDS. The panel featured a range of perspectives on advancing patient-centeredness in CDS. Panelists discussed 1) challenges and opportunities in engaging patients throughout the PC CDS lifecycle, including the generation of evidence, the design and development of tools, implementation, and measurement, and 2) technical considerations for developing PC CDS apps and tools.

June 1, 2022: AHRQ Webinar on Lessons Learned from Real-World Applications of Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support

This recording features speakers from the CDSiC including Aziz Boxwala, David Lobach, Nitu Kashyap, James Swiger, and Dean Sittig. The panel shared actionable findings from two pilots that deployed PC CDS support interventions that combined patient-generated health data with clinical data from the EHR to support remote patient monitoring at Yale New Haven Health.

May 26, 2022: Implementing Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support: Current State, Future Directions, and Real-World Experience

Prashila Dullabh, David Lobach, Aziz Boxwala, Nitu Kashyap, and Edwin Lomotan hosted a panel at the 2022 AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference on implementing PC CDS to accelerate movement of patient-centered outcomes research into practice and support patients and providers in healthcare decision-making.

May 25, 2022: Examining the Use and Perceived Value of Shareable, Standards-Based CDS Through Evaluation Findings on CDS Connect Resources

Rina Dhopeshwarkar presented a poster at the 2022 AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference on the use and perceived value of a repository of publicly available CDS resources. Findings from a survey and key informant interviews indicated that users find that a repository of publicly available CDS tools has strong potential and value for supporting the translation of evidence into practice. However, there are still barriers to successfully implementing them within health systems, which may be limiting widespread use of the artifacts.
