Clinical decision support provides many benefits over unmanaged imaging care or call-in prior authorization programs 9 For ordering physicians: Workflow solution that offers graded appropriateness score or more appropriate examinations based on clinical scenarios or exam requested For radiologists: Structured indications with meaningful reasons for exam translatable to correct protocol and ICD coding

Clinical decision support provides high-quality evidence to the patients’ treating physicians 11 Medical specialty societies are best equipped to develop guidelines for an effective utilization management program Appropriateness Criteria 300 volunteer radiologists Created more than multidisciplinary consensus from cross-section of medical societies Guidance for ordering physicians for >900 scenarios documented with evidence from literature, consensus from over 20 specialties, transparency, and inherent flexibility from cycle of community-driven updates.

Clinical decision support provides high quality evidence to the patients’ treating physicians 12 Standardization vs. Localization Too many rule sources can produce a “Tower Of Babel” effect and send mixed messages to referring physicians and the public. It is possible that standardization can stifle innovation and so it is important to have selective localization at certain sites.

Clinical decision support informs treating physicians’ decision making at the point of care 14 Paper and searchable PDF are useful, but rarely used at the point of care. A digitized clinically consumable format allows integration into EHRs. All the work that went into developing the AC is reaching its potential in informing better patient care. A web-services delivery model brings the Appropriateness Criteria into clinical use. Appropriateness Criteria

Clinical decision support informs treating physicians’ decision making at the point of care 15 The widespread use of CPOE, and the integration of the AC into EHR supports adoption. Some institutions may choose to add another layer to provide utility beyond the EHR, but eventually all orders will have to flow through the EHR to be valuable. CDS increases the relevance of radiologists at the point of care.

17 © 2014 | AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY | IMAGING 3.0 TM | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Exams may still be ordered without radiologist involvement, but low appropriateness scores drive ordering physicians to engage in consultation with a radiologist, increasing visibility and value. CDS provides an appropriateness score for every examination; these data are the basis for analytics of inappropriate ordering allowing education of ordering physicians.

Clinical decision support increases the relevance of radiologists to ordering physicians and the health system 18 Nationally, radiology will be seen by policy makers as part of the solution not part of the problem. Appropriateness x Outcome Cost Value No matter how good everything else is, if the reason for doing an exam is inappropriate, there is no value.
