Published Date: Jun 1, 2022

Abstract

Clinical informatics can support quality improvement and patient safety in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in several ways including data extraction, analysis, and decision support enabled by electronic health records (EHRs), and databases and registries. Clinical decision support (CDS), embedded in EHRs, now an integral part of the workflow in the PICU, includes several tools and is increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Understanding the opportunities and challenges can improve the engagement of clinicians with the design, validation, and implementation of CDS, improve satisfaction with CDS, and improve patient safety, care quality, and value.
