A portfolio of leading clinical decision support solutions for improving quality of care
One in three adults worldwide suffers from multiple chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke or cancer.1
This growing complexity in patient care needs has spurred an explosion of medical research. As a result, the amount of available medical information doubles once every 73 days2 — a rate equivalent to five times a year, every year.
For clinicians and care teams, this exponential growth of clinical research adds additional challenges to clinical decision-making.
Clinicians frequently raise questions about patient care in their practice, and roughly half of the questions are never pursued. Time constraints or limited access to reliable, applicable evidence-based information are the top root causes.4
Unfortunately, due to a lack of consistent, reliable access to a trusted source of comprehensive medical information, up to 60% of clinician questions go unanswered. Anywhere from five to eight patient-management decisions are impacted, per clinician, per day.3
Why clinical decision support tools matter
The need for healthcare organizations to improve patient care, along with growing pressures to reduce spending and increase technological innovation, make computer-based decision support tools attractive.
With these tools, clinicians and care providers can enter data at the point-of-care, receive information to support diagnosis decisions, and implement consistent treatment plans across the patient journey.
