The goal of the challenge was to strengthen the ways in which industry, government and nonprofit entities can collaborate to share innovative CDS across health systems. The competition proceeded in two phases; Phase 1 called for design proposals, then selected Phase 1 submissions were invited to give live presentations in Phase 2. Prizes were awarded in four categories: Best Overall Design, Most Innovative, Best Technical Functionalities, and Best Value Proposition. More information on the competition and winners can be found here . In 2016, AHRQ launched a program of grants and contracts aimed at helping health care providers move patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) evidence into practice through clinical decision support (CDS). AHRQ advances the science of CDS by supporting implementers, clinicians, and technology vendors in developing CDS tools that are shareable, standards-based, publicly-available, and patient-centered. These components are detailed below. Beyond these efforts, AHRQ continues to fund grants focused on advancing evidence into practice. Grant funding is available for digital healthcare research and other priority areas, including clinical decision support. Please visit https://www.ahrq.gov/funding/fund-opps/index.html for information on those opportunities. CDS Innovation Collaborative The CDS Innovation Collaborative (CDSiC) will integrate diverse perspectives to produce resources and evidence to advance the field of patient-centered clinical decision support, making it more valuable and meaningful to patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems. Key domains for exploration include trust, interoperability, measurement/value, and partnership with patients. It will also include an innovation center and a research and development hub to facilitate real-world CDS measurement and testing. https://cdsic.ahrq.gov/cdsic/home-page CDS Connect AHRQ leveraged the Health FFRDC, operated by the MITRE Corporation, to develop "CDS Connect," an online platform that includes a repository of CDS artifacts, an authoring tool to enable creation of CDS, and prototype tools for sharing and testing CDS. The Health FFRDC also hosts the monthly CDS Connect Work Group meeting. https://cds.ahrq.gov/cdsconnect Learning Network AHRQ awarded RTI International a cooperative agreement to become the Patient-Centered Clinical Decision Support Learning Network (PCCDS-LN). The PCCDS-LN built a community of researchers, clinicians, professional societies, and others that explored and advanced patient-centered CDS. While the grant ended in 2020, many of the Learning Network’s resources continue to be available. https://pccds-ln.org Evaluation Project AHRQ awarded a contract to NORC to evaluate the impact of the overall CDS initiative. Funding Opportunities AHRQ continues to fund grants focused on advancing evidence into practice through CDS.CEDAR CEDAR text here. https://cds.ahrq.gov/cedar/CEDAR AHRQ partnered with the Health FFRDC, operated by the MITRE Corporation, to support the dissemination of patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) through the CEDAR project. CEDAR is a standards-based application programming interface designed to to make PCOR evidence more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). https://cds.ahrq.gov/cedarClinical Decision Support (CDS) CDS Home CDS Connect Evaluation Resources Disclaimer for CDS Connect Overview Learning Network Funding Opportunities Contact Us Privacy Statement CDS Home CDS Connect Evaluation Resources Disclaimer for CDS Connect Overview Learning Network Funding Opportunities Contact Us Privacy StatementConnect With Us Sign up for Email Updates To sign up for updates or to access your subscriber preferences, please enter your email address below.
