Equipping care teams to stay current for better patient care

The amount of medical information doubles every 73 days.1 Clinicians and care teams lack the bandwidth to keep up with the exponential growth of research needed for clinical decision-making and improving the quality of care.

Evidence-based content lies at the core of effective clinical decision support (CDS) tools. The information clinicians rely on must be accurate and current, as well as aligned across teams, for consistent patient care decisions.

Healthcare IT leaders are continually evaluating which CDS technologies can equip care teams to deliver better patient outcomes. Having the right digital tools can streamline clinical workflows, alleviate team burdens, and transform the delivery of care.
