STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that Elsevier Clinical Decision Support (CDS) will feature solutions that directly impact the quality of care at the HIMSS 2010 event in Atlanta from March 1-3. The solutions include evidence-based clinical content and tools; interdisciplinary documentation, planning and guidelines; drug decision support; interactive skills and procedures; data mining and outcomes analysis; and e-learning.
CDS representatives will present how its solutions can help clinicians, hospitals and healthcare systems improve care quality and achieve meaningful use of healthcare information and technology.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), in its recent proposed definition of meaningful use, said that the healthcare industry would be best served by ‘achieving improvements in quality, safety and efficiency, focusing on decision support for national high priority conditions, patient access to self management tools, access to comprehensive patient data, and improving population health outcomes.’ In line with this, three key Elsevier experts will discuss their perspectives on several CDS solutions at HIMSS 2010.
By following CMS’ lead and renewing its focus on care quality and efficiency, Elsevier seeks to continue its efforts to deliver evidence-based content, products and services that help medical professionals concentrate on improving care and outcomes.
