The HELP/HELP 2 System was designed to be an electronic medical record with decision support and research capabilities and is now installed at all 22 Intermountain Healthcare hospitals. Numerous applications have been developed that use different levels and methods of decision support to improve the patient care process and the quality of patient care. Many of these applications have been scientifically evaluated to measure their impact on patient care. This chapter will use a number of these applications as examples to demonstrate different methods of design, development, implementation, and evaluation along with what has worked, and what has not worked and why. The HELP/HELP 2 System architecture and capabilities that are needed to develop and run the applications also are described and highlighted within the examples. << 收起
