Evidence Integration into Clinical Systems

Improving clinical decision support and the practice of evidence-based medicine through the integration of evidence into clinical systems has been a strong focus at the Center for Knowledge Management (CKM) for several years. Our methods include capturing, organizing, and creating metadata schemas for local decision support residing within medical center systems.  Recent projects have involved extracting, organizing, and connecting the knowledge built into the medical center’s clinical systems and practices for current and future reuse (DesAutels et al., 2017).
