Benefits of CDS
Improved quality of care
Better health outcomes
Avoidance of errors and adverse of events
Improved efficiency
Reduced costs
Increased provider/patient satisfaction
4
CDS is Not Widely Available
CDS is complex
CDS capabilities have been tightly coupled with specific institutions
and health IT systems
Re-using CDS implemented elsewhere is difficult
5
The Need
Application-independent CDS resources that can be
efficiently leveraged by diverse healthcare systems and
health IT settings to improve patient health
OpenCDS
6
Collaborative project, led by Dr.
Kensaku Kawamoto at the
University of Utah
A software platform and toolkit
for developers implementing
CDS services

ICE Project
Collaboration of public health agencies, academic researchers, and a private firm
Leveraged OpenCDS to implement CDS for immunizations (aka “immunization forecasting”)
Needed by providers and public health agencies
The ICE Project
ICE Software System
ICE Web Service Provides immunization forecasting to clinical
systems through a web service interface Supports routinely administered vaccine
