I am looking for a layman's explanation of the decision support found in the
CCCQE-User-edit-PSIA-IM-1 related to the diabetes, MI, prenatal care and CHF preset decision support rules.
Anyone have any ideas or know where I can look to find them?
The old CCC 8.0 introductory document has high-level user info on PSIA and other forms. You also can insert the "Tx Protocols Editor-CCC" Editor Encounter Form within a note as this drives the text file.
CCCQE™ Clinical Decision Support and
Patient Severity Index Assessment
The CCCQE™ Clinical Decision Support (CDS) and Patient Severity Index Assessment (PSIA) applications were designed to improve the clinical workflow and provide clinical decision support during the assessment and plan of the patient visit. As more and more insurers and regulators require documentation of quality of care and patient disease severity, additional charting and documentation responsibilities are being demanded of the provider. The CCCQE™ CDS and PSIA application allows the provider to receive a variety of cascading clinical decision support prompts that remind the provider to document specific clinical quality indicators. In order to make this process non-intrusive and time-efficient, the prompts automatically provide the clinical data entry and documentation without having to search for encounter forms or go to flowsheets to enter the information. Some examples of the CCCQE™ CDS/PSIA application include rapid prompting and documentation of:
- Smoking Status
- Smoking Cessation Discussed
- Smoking Stage
- Diabetes Complications
- Correct Treatment Deficiencies or Document Contraindications (examples: CHF-ACE inhibitors; Post-MI-beta blockers)
The CCCQE™ CDS/PSIA application resides in the CCCQE™ CPOE A&P encounter form (part of the CCCQE™ core forms) and is triggered when a problem is selected from the dropdown list. The following screenshots will serve as an example of the various types of decision support prompts and workflows made available with CCCQE™.
