ABSTRACT

The transformation of healthcare during COVID-19 presents clinical decision support (CDS) programs with substantial opportunities for growth, but also risks that come with dramatic change. In this viewpoint we share our experience at NYU Langone Health, in New York at the epicenter of the pandemic. Early on we recognized the potential impact of the shift to telemedicine on our ambulatory CDS program and devised a simple framework for an intra-pandemic ambulatory CDS checkup. We discuss our initial findings and lessons learned. We believe our approach is generalizable to other organizations, easy to replicate, and realistic to implement even for an already overcommitted clinical informatics team.
