Clinical: Edit > System Tables > Decision Support Interventions > DSI Rule Builder

What do I need to know?

To comply with ONC requirements, source attributes for demographic information regarding the use of race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, and date of birth data elements need to be added and made visible to the end user when the intervention is triggered for a patient. To adhere to this requirement, the Description for the system data points for race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, and date of birth have been updated with a standardized description/attribute for each of the applicable data elements. Likewise, the Description field for these date elements have been enabled, allowing users to modify the source attribute information as needed.

Whenever these data elements for race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, or date of birth are used in a decision support rule, when that rule is triggered, the applicable patient demographic information will appear in the new Demographic Info column of the Alert Manager. Each demographic data point description that is part of the rule logic will display in this column as well as the corresponding value for the patient.

Clinical: Edit > System Tables > Decision Support Interventions > External Applications

What do I need to know?

The system has been updated with a DSI External Applications dialog (accessed via Edit > System Tables > Decision Support Interventions > External Applications) that allows you to access and maintain Predictive Decision Support Intervention applications. To access this dialog, at least one provider needs to be configured for the ChartMaker API. If no provider in the system is configured for the ChartMaker API, when attempting to access the DIS External Applications dialog, a warning message will appear indicating that your system is not configured to access this this dialog.

If a provider is configured for the ChartMaker API, then the system will query the API for any approved applications that are tagged as Decision Support and will list them in the dialog.

 

Clicking the help button (?) in the top-right corner, displays a Predictive Decision Support Interventions dialog that provides information on what Predictive DSI is, how it is to be used, and the responsibility of practice to record and maintain the information regarding the applications, referred to as source attributes.

 

In the DSI External Applications dialog, you can click the Edit button next to an application to access the DSI External Application Information dialog that allows you to configure the 31 pDSI source attributes for the application, the URL for the application, as well as any additional attributes you wish to add.

After the DSI External Applications have been configured, they can be accessed and launched for a patient via the DSI External Application Launch dialog (accessed when in a patient’s chart via Chart > Decision Support External Applications).

In the DSI External Application Launch dialog, you can click the help button (?) in the top-right corner to display the Predictive Decision Support Interventions dialog.

In the External Application drop-down list, you can select from the configured DSI External Applications. Once the applicable external application is selected, you can click the button to the right to access the DSI External Application Information dialog to view the source attributes for the selected application. The data in the dialog will be in read-only format and cannot be modified from this screen.

Clicking the Launch External Application button will open the internet browser to the URL configured for the application and will pass the patient’s ID to the external application.

How do I use it?

Upon upgrade these changes will be available as outlined above. Do note, that users will need to have Decision Support privilege to access the DSI External Applications and DSI External Application Launch.
