The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has issued its final Clinical Decision Support Innovation Collaborative (CDSiC) newsletter.

Issue Number 34 | September 16, 2025 After four years of groundbreaking research, the AHRQ CDSiC will conclude in September 2025.  Together, the project's many resources have meaningfully advanced the development, implementation, and evaluation of patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS), laying the foundation for further advancements in this innovative, patient-focused field.  In this final edition of the Insider, we highlight the AHRQ CDSiC's key accomplishments, new resources that serve as quick guides for using the AHRQ CDSiC's resources, and where to find these resources moving forward. Table of Contents: AHRQ CDSiC: Key Project Accomplishments New AHRQ CDSiC Resources Support PC CDS Measurement, Patient Empowerment and Collaboration How to Stay Engaged with the AHRQ CDSiC's Work AHRQ CDSiC: Key Project Accomplishments Since its launch in 2021, the AHRQ CDSiC has been at the forefront of advancing PC CDS.  To drive meaningful progress in this evolving field, the AHRQ CDSiC has developed 71 innovative resources and conducted 5 real-world pilot projects of PC CDS tools.  The AHRQ CDSiC's resources and projects have explored multiple cutting-edge topics – from patient engagement and shared decision making to evaluation and implementation – that support the effective development, use, and measurement of PC CDS.  To learn more about all of the AHRQ CDSiC's accomplishments, check out our full project summary.  The summary provides a useful overview of the resources developed by the project over the past four years, organized by six key topics: Standards Patient trust, engagement, and preferences Measurement PC CDS implementation Use of artificial intelligence in PC CDS PC CDS pilot projects AHRQ CDSiC Resources Support PC CDS Measurement, Patient Empowerment and Collaboration To streamline the use of the AHRQ CDSiC's many products, we have developed three brief How-To Guides that summarize the project's resources on key PC CDS topics.  The guides provide the full suite of AHRQ CDSiC resources for users seeking to address a particular aspect of PC CDS: effective PC CDS measurement, patient empowerment through PC CDS, and collaboration with patients on PC CDS.  Check out the three How-To Guides here: How To: Measure the Impact of PC CDS How To: Empower and Engage Patients with PC CDS How To: Collaborate with Patients on PC CDS How to Stay Engaged with the AHRQ CDSiC's Work All AHRQ CDSiC-developed resources – including reports, guides, tools, and infographics – are available on the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Bookshelf in the CDSiC Collection and AHRQ's Digital Healthcare Research website. The AHRQ CDSiC will lead a panel presentation at the 2025 Patient Insight Congress in Bethesda, Maryland.  The session, titled Centering Patient Voices and Experiences: A Panel Discussion Focused on Patient Communication, will take place at 10:00 AM on November 7, 2025.  We hope to see you there!
