Outpatient EHR-based diabetes clinical decision support that works: Lessons learned from implementing Diabetes Wizard

Abstract

Electronic health record-based clinical decision support (CDS) can improve key intermediate outcomes of diabetes care in primary care settings and could be deployed in conjunction with additional care improvement strategies. It is important to understand how to incorporate CDS strategies into primary care practices to obtain high provider use rates and satisfaction. This article describes the process for successful implementation of a CDS tool called Diabetes Wizard.
