Welcome to the Clinical Decision Support Consortium website!

 

Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Partners HealthCare Information Systems (PHS) have formed the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Consortium with the Regenstrief Institute,the Veterans Health Administration, University of Texas School of Health Information Science, Oregon Health Sciences University, Kaiser Permanente, NextGen, Siemens Medical Solutions, and GE Healthcare. The Mid-Valley Independent Physicians Association (MVIPA) and University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) serve as corresponding sites using NextGen and GE electronic health records, respectively. Members of the CDS Consortium are intimately involved in creating and providing CDS tools and services in electronic health records used in both academic settings as well as community-based physician office practices. These investigators share a common interest and goal of enhancing the wide-spread adoption of CDS tools and services to improve the delivery of healthcare both domestically and world-wide. The goal of the CDS Consortium is to assess, define, demonstrate, and evaluate best practices for knowledge management and clinical decision support in healthcare information technology at scale – across multiple ambulatory care settings and EHR technology platforms.

 

The CDS Consortium is an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Contract that began on March 5, 2008.

This project was funded under contract # HHSA290200810010 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
