Nursing CDS evaluation checklist
Despite all the advantages, it can be daunting to find the right CDS for your team because today’s solutions are feature-rich and rapidly evolving, making them hard to compare during the buying process. To aid you in this important decision, our team of nursing experts have put together an evaluation checklist that encompasses five key considerations. The checklist outlines what to look for and the key questions you’ll need to ask a potential CDS provider in the following areas:
- Quality of clinical content: Is the clinical content evidence based? Does it reflect current practice? How does it get updated? Can you trust the clinical content?
- Quality of user experience: Can your nurses find the point-of-care information they need quickly and easily – especially when minutes count?
- Workflow/interoperability: Does the CDS solution support the way you want to deliver care? Does it work the way your nurses work?
- Quality of service and support: What is your approach to post-sales support? Will you work with a dedicated team, or will teams change from one interaction to another? Expected ROI: How do you assess each stakeholder group’s priorities? Which metrics matter to each group?
- Expected ROI: How do you assess each stakeholder group’s priorities? Which metrics matter to each group?
