Clinical Decision Support: A Radiology Practice's Approach

摘要

One radiology practice's success story on preparing for clinical decision support. There has been much written and discussed over the past few years regarding clinical decision support (CDS), or the "hard stop" approach to managing imaging ordering appropriateness. Though it's been on everyone's minds, and some have implemented CDS as a strategy to improve prior authorization, the discussions were never really of true consequence for private practices and their reimbursement outlook until March of this year, when the Senate passed the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (H.R. 4302). also known as the Sustainable Growth Rate patch legislation.
