CDSiC's First Year Accomplishments
|
|
|
|
|
It has been one year since the CDSiC project kicked off in October 2021. The CDSiC has been quite busy standing up our infrastructure and laying out our plans for pursuing our mission to advance patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS) to improve health outcomes. In our first year, we have established a community of broad and diverse stakeholders to shape the current and future landscape of CDS by developing products that address the gaps and opportunities in advancing patient-centered CDS. As the first year of the CDSiC comes to a close and we begin reflecting on our goals for the coming year, we invite you to review this snapshot of our accomplishments thus far.

|
|
|
|
|
On October 19th, AHRQ hosted a panel discussion on the use of visualization tools within a digital healthcare system to improve cognitive processes, workflows, and the patient experience. During the webinar, expert speakers shared findings from their own research on how to best use data visualization to improve care. The recording and slides are available here.
The webinar was particularly relevant to the work of the CDSiC Innovation Center, including projects underway to develop two data visualization dashboards for patient-reported outcomes and patient-generated health data. We described the plans for developing these dashboards in our latest Innovation Center Quarterly Report, found here.
