      To adequately impact clinical care for clinicians and patients requires local implementation activities as shown in Step 4. CDS is not intended to replace clinician judgment, but rather to provide information to assist care team members in managing the complex and expanding volume of biomedical and person-specific data needed to make timely, informed, and higher quality decisions based on current clinical science. Ideally, the clinical guidelines and CDS include methods for evaluating what successful implementation means, (i.e., whether the clinical care ultimately provided included processes that addressed the intent of the guideline and if it achieved the desired outcomes).

    Description

      Expressly acknowledge that clinicians can (and should) deviate from processes reflected in CDS where appropriate given a patient's unique clinical characteristics.

      Existing Wording:

      To adequately impact clinical care for clinicians and patients requires local implementation activities as shown in Step 4. Ideally, the clinical guidelines and CDS include methods for evaluating what successful implementation means, i.e., whether the clinical care ultimately provided included processes that addressed the intent of the guideline and if it achieved the desired outcomes.

      Proposed Wording:

      To adequately impact clinical care for clinicians and patients requires local implementation activities as shown in Step 4. In implementation, clinicans may deviate from processes reflected in CDS where appropraite given a patient's unique clinical characteristics. Ideally, the clinical guidelines and CDS include methods for evaluating what successful implementation means, (i.e., whether the clinical care ultimately provided included processes that addressed the intent of the guideline and if it achieved the desired outcomes).
