Sneak peek: Decision prompts
The Medanets Decision prompts add-on provides timely evidence-based information at the point of care, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing variance in care.
Evidence-based clinical guidelines have been proven to bring several benefits, such as:
- increase the quality of care
- enhance patient outcomes
- reduce variance in care
Driving evidence-based care in clinical practice
Despite the proven results, studies 1,2 have demonstrated that the delivery of evidence-based care is irregular and occurs in only 50%–55% of the cases. Clinicians may feel that they are not able to access the guidelines easily, or they feel the guidelines are too complex.
Through the Medanets Decision prompts add-on, documented observation values and assessments are matched to evidence-based clinical guidelines and prompts are automatically presented to the user for decision or action – right at the point of care. Decision prompts at the point of care make clinical guidelines more accessible and understandable!
