This quarterly report provides a summary of the status of all projects and activities being conducted within the CDSiC Innovation Center from January to March 2024. Over this period, the Innovation Center has focused on developing four projects for the third year of the CDSiC.

The Core 1 team tested the PC CDS Performance Measurement Framework developed in the base years by examining how current AHRQ-funded projects are evaluating and measuring real-world PC CDS interventions. The four aims of the cross-cutting assessment were to: 1) identify measures being used to assess PC CDS interventions; 2) gather perceptions on the measures used, limitations, and challenges; 3) understand factors that drive PC CDS technology adoption and use and how they impact measurement; and 4) develop an action plan for advancing the development and use of PC CDS performance measures.

The Core 2 is undertaking two projects: 1) design, develop, and implement a chatbot prototype to support medication adherence; and 2) design and develop a chatbot prototype to support patient-clinician communication. Both projects aim to understand patient and clinician perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence in decision support tools. The Core 1 team will conduct evaluations of both Core 2 projects.
