Terminology and Automated Decision Support • Data monitor checks for triggering conditions • Medical Logic Modules decide if warning conditions are present • Message sent to appropriate channel • Decision support concepts are more general than clinical data • MED provides mapping • Example: Tuberculosis culture result
Automated Decision SupportExample: “Positive” TB Cultures • Alert checks for late results of TB tests • IF Result Not Equal “No Growth”… • One day, an apparent epidemic of positive results… …but checking the lab shows “No Growth to Date”
How the Lab Fooled the Alert • Alert looked for results = “No Growth” • Lab started reporting “No Growth to Date” • “No Growth to Date”<> “No Growth” • Solution: Use the controlled terminology to map all No-Growth-like lab terms into a single class, and have the alert logic refer to the class.
How We Outsmarted the Lab(Before) Medical Logic Module No Growth to Date No Growth
“No Growth” Results No Growth after 24 Hours No Growth after 48 Hours No Growth after ... No Growth after 72 Hours How We Outsmarted the Lab(After) Medical Logic Module No Growth to Date No Growth

Wireless Palm-based Access to Health Information:The Palm-Based Clinical Information System (PalmCIS) • Lack of information contributes to errors • Inadequate communication contributes to errors • Multimodal studies of information and communication • PalmCIS • Virtual Whiteboard • Infobuttons
Studies of Information and Communication • Modalities • questionnaires • focus groups • observational studeis • Information needs: • nurses: diagnoses, labs, policies, drug information, educational materials • physicians: diagnoses, labs, notes, disease management, prescribing • Communication needs: • nurses: who’s the doctor? • physicians: who’s the nurse?
PalmCIS • Hand-held, wireless platform • Kyocera SmartPhone • Sprint PCS • Eudora Web • Security • HTTPS • Login/ID • SecureID • IP Address • Device ID • Clinical Data • WebCIS Functions • Shortcuts
Virtual Whiteboard • Matches patients, teams, and roles • Notes added to team-member’s “to do” list • Answers “Who’s taking care of…?” • Asynchronous communication channel • Data capture/display interfaces • Scheduling systems
