EH: Acknowledging DSI Alerts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Decision Support Interventions (DSI) are designed to assist clinicians by prompting for clinical care to be provided based on information addressed on the patient chart. DSI alerts are evidence-based and directly match Eligible Hospital Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (EH eCQMs). The algorithm used to determine when a DSI should trigger will line up with the Denominator Population Criteria on the eCQM Roadmap associated with the DSI.

Reviewing and Acknowledging DSI Alerts

When a DSI alert is triggered on a patient, the DSI will populate to the Alerts screen for review. Once an alert has been acknowledged, it will no longer display on the screen. Alerts can be viewed from the Tracking Board. Go to Charts > Tracking Board > Select the patient > Alerts > Select the DSI > Acknowledge.

From the DSI alert, the user can review the Bibliographic Information and the Data Requirements associated with the measure. This is a view only functionality and will display whatever is associated with the measure via DSI Configuration in Tables. See DSI Dashboard Security and Configuration for details.

 

Providing Feedback on DSI Alerts

Users may also have the option to provide feedback (add comments) on a DSI from the patient review screen, if they have the necessary behavior control (Provide DSI Feedback). This feedback will be specific to the DSI itself, and will not populate to the patient chart. Any documentation about the DSI that should be associated with the patient in question should be entered through a documentation platform. Using the Comment option, users can review previously entered comments and enter additional feedback as well. To enter a comment, go to Charts > Tracking Board > Select the patient > Alerts > Select the DSI > Comment.
