Product not yet rated

Only available as part of a package

Integration of community-based CDSME programming within healthcare systems has the potential to add value for patients and healthcare teams. This process is often challenged by inherent factors within healthcare organizations, such as regulations, electronic medical record (EMR) functionality and limited staff time. Leveraging existing workflows and utilizing a multifaceted approach can help to overcome some of these barriers. This session will discuss the use of these strategies, including development of infrastructure and centralized processes, healthcare team education, data collection and closed-loop feedback to facilitate integration of community-based programming within the healthcare system and increase referrals.
