The PC CDS Performance Measurement Inventory supports implementation teams and others to identify measures and measurement approaches to evaluate the design, development, implementation, and use of patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS).

Implementation teams can use this inventory and the accompanying Scaling, Measurement, and Dissemination of CDS Workgroup: PC CDS Performance Measurement Inventory User Guide  during planning and needs assessment to ensure appropriate data are collected to assess PC CDS effectiveness and study whether the PC CDS has achieved its defined objective.

What Is in the Inventory?

The inventory contains 163 unique measures and metrics to assess PC CDS performance across three phases of implementation: 1) What PC CDS Did You Design, 2) What PC CDS Did You Use, and 3) What Were the Results. These measures can be filtered by implementation phase, measurement categories, and measurement constructs. 

How Should You Use the Inventory?

Users can use the drop-down menus to filter measures by type (e.g., implementation phase, measurement category, measurement concept) to identify increasingly granular information for individual measures. Users can also filter by measurement property and specifications.

The Scaling, Measurement, and Dissemination of CDS Workgroup: PC CDS Performance Measurement Inventory User Guide provides additional detail on how the inventory is organized, definitions of the implementation phases and measurement categories used to categorize unique measures, and illustrative examples of how to use this inventory.
