Communicating Narrative Concerns Entered by RNs (CONCERN) Clinical Decision Support (CDS) System

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

There are patients who die or have a bad outcome in the hospital and this could be prevented. Data in the nurses' notes could be used by computers to tell the rest of the care team that a patient is not doing well and that they should act more quickly. This project will build and evaluate a computer system that makes it easier for the care team to see and understand that data and act quickly to save patients. The aims of this study is to answer the questions, what is the level of provider use of the CONCERN CDS notification system (called CONCERN SMARTapp) and resulting impact on selected patient outcomes? Specifically, the study has 1) validated desired thresholds for the CONCERN CDS system and 2) integrated the CONCERN CDS system for early warning of risky patient states within CDS tools. In this portion of the study (aim 3), the investigator will implement and evaluate the CONCERN CDS system on primary outcomes of in-hospital mortality and length of stay and secondary outcomes of cardiac arrest, unanticipated transfers to the intensive care unit, and 30-day hospital readmission rates.
