Use clinical information systems as a vehicle for improving patient care in the context of larger health care process changes. Harvest and analyze the resulting data to better understand healthcare delivery, disease processes, and optimize therapy. PROJECTS1. Leverage improvements in microbiology systems to enhance antimicrobial stewardship 2. Quantify the hospital’s medication administration performance with BCMA data 3. Enhance medication reconciliation with codification via RxNorm 4. Streamline discharge and transfer processes 5. Conduct knowledge discovery on inpatient data linked to mortality by incorporating Social Security Death Index data. Investigate newer database technologies for clinical data mart. 6. Evaluate the impact of inpatient/outpatient allergy integration 7. Enhance Alerting/Task list tools for nursing. 8. Continuous protocol evaluation: are nurse managed heparin and insulin optimizing care? 9. Build systems to monitor drug decision support effectiveness; build new approaches that suggest personalized alternatives. 10. New sources for decision support: create a Vital Signs Repository with q30second data and integrate with perioperative systems Medication Reconciliation Horizon Expert Documentation INTRODUCTIONVanderbilt University Medical Center has accumulated a critical mass of inpatient clinical information systems that can be used to influence health care delivery and resulting data may inform us about clinical processes. The WizOrder/Horizon Clinicals team and its collaborators design, operate, and analyze such systems.
