Simple Tools Make Big Differences


“Testing for pulmonary embolism
often differs from that recommended
by evidence-based guidelines.”

Durieux et al. A computerized handheld decision-support system
to improve pulmonary embolism diagnosis: a randomized trial. Ann
Intern Med. 2009 Nov 17;151(10):677-86.
Checklists

 A simple safety checklist (the Surgical Safety Checklist) in
  the operating room can significantly reduce post-
  operative complications.

 Specifically, death after surgery was reduced by more
  than 40%.
Kids Are Not Small Adults
Computer Aided Cancer Detection

 Computerized assistance improves cancer detection

 MDs failed to recognize missed cancer in 70% of cases
  where computer was right




Nishikawa et el. Clinically Missed Cancer: How Effectively Can Radiologists Use
Computer-Aided Detection? AJR March 2012 vol. 198 no. 3 708-
716 doi:10.2214/AJR.11.6423
Impact of Clinical Decision Support

 Decision support systems can improve clinical practice

 But, up to 30% of systems don’t have any meaningful
  impact



Kawamoto et al. Improving clinical practice using clinical decision support
systems: a systematic review of trials to identify features critical to success.
BMJ 2005; 330 doi: 10.1136/bmj.38398.500764.8F
