Reflect on the relationship
between EBP and informatics
how does informatics support
the development, access,
translation of, communication,
and evaluation of clinical
guidelines? Consider the role of
data source (standard
terminologies).
What existing guideline(s) are
applicable to your focus
area? Is it adequate? How
would you change it? What
do you need? How could
informatics solutions support
improved guidelines or
application of EBP in your
focus area?
Reflect on the relationship
between PBE and informatics
how does informatics support
the development, access,
communication, and evaluation
of evidence from practice?
How might data mining be
used in your focus area?
What is a sample questions
you could explore or address
using data mining? What
challenges might there be to
mining the data (e.g., defining
measures, identifying data
sources, data
quality/consistency, etc.)?
What is the role of CDS in your
focus area?
Are there any opportunities to
integrate decision support
tools in your focus area?
What would those tools look
like? What would be the goal
of a CDS in your focus area?
Where do you think CDS
would be most effective (e.g.,
whose decisions should they
support, what types of
decisions, etc.)? How would
they be implemented, what
type of documentation would
need to be done and where
that documentation would be
done in the EHR.
Throughout your post, be sure to
demonstrate your understanding
and synthesis of readings and
activities from Weeks 1-3 of the
course (cite course readings,
integrate explanations of
concepts/theories into your
description of informatics in your
focus area). You should expand
on the topics in the prompts
where appropriate to include
other concepts (e.g.,
strategies/models for gathering
information requirements) from
Weeks 1-3.
Include at least one additional
informatics-focused reference
outside of those required for
class readings in your post.
You should also consider including
any multimedia (images, figures,
videos) that help to describe
informatics in your focus area.
