Content: Clinical decision support systems are a powerful means of harnessing data from electronic records and ubiquitous medical devices to standardize care and eliminate waste. Information science professionals implement these software programs to analyze patient data and offer useful information like clinical guidelines. A decision support system may help make diagnoses as well as trigger timely prompts and reminders over the course of treatment. Coordinated Care
Delivering the best possible results for patients often calls for collaboration among healthcare professionals who may work in different departments, facilities or organizations. Care coordination and communication makes it possible for everyone involved in diagnosis and treatment to organize their efforts and share information. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the key elements involved in care coordination are: Access to a variety of healthcare services and providers
Clear communications and effective planning among the providers
A holistic approach to a patient’s medical needs
Information shared with patients in terms they can understand
Digital infrastructure is crucial to making the most of these efforts. When nurses, specialists and other providers easily access details about a patient’s needs, they can make more informed decisions and prioritize safety. With extensive security measures and privacy practices in place, professionals can share the necessary health records to ensure they offer the best treatment and avoid redundant procedures. Advances in Telehealth
The advent of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has made abundantly clear the value of reliable access to quality healthcare from home.
