ePneumonia: Development of an Electronic Clinical Decision Support System for Community-Onset Pneumonia

Completed

Conditions studied: Pneumonia

In brief

The investigators plan to further develop a prototype, evidence-based, electronic clinical decision support system (CDSS) for pneumonia care (ePneumonia) with interoperability across Electronic Health Records in order to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare resource utilization. The specific aims of this study are to evaluate the usability of ePneumonia adapted for Cerner and its impact on clinical, patient-centered and healthcare resource utilization outcomes in a stepped-wedge implementation study in 16 hospital emergency departments (EDs) across the Intermountain Healthcare integrated health system.
