Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Computerized decision support systems (CDSSs) are information technology-based software that provide health professionals with actionable, patient-specific recommendations or guidelines for disease diagnosis, treatment, and management at the point-of-care. CDSSs may be integrated with patient electronic health records (EHRs) and evidence-based knowledge.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators designed a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of patient-specific, point-of-care reminders on clinical practice and the quality of care. The investigators hypothesize that these reminders can increase clinician adherence to guidelines and, eventually, improve the quality of care offered to hospitalized patients. The results of the investigators study will contribute to the current understanding of the effectiveness of CDSSs in primary care and hospital settings.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Medilogy Decision Support System (MediDSS)

Intervention Type OTHER

Italian translation of Evidence-Based Medicine electronic Decision Support (EBMeDS), a set of rules (scripts) based on Evidence Based Medicine guidelines and applied to structured health data. MediDSS further includes knowledge from Swedish, Finnish, INteraction X-referencing (SFINX), a drug-drug interaction database containing concise evidence-based information of about 18,000 drug interactions and adverse events. MediDSS is integrated with local reminders.
