Features
The Valida Consultation clinical decision support modules are an electronic representation of current guidelines and medical advice, customised at a local level. Sitting in a Window in the patient’s record within the GP system, the module uses information from the patient’s clinical records and the electronic guidelines to make recommendations about the management of the patient. These recommendations are specific to that patient today, fully evidence based and not simply presentation of filtered evidence or an algorithm.
Benefits
The Decision Support Modules have been shown to increase patient’s management in concordance with NICE and other guidelines which in turn has been shown to drive improvement of patient outcomes and reduction in costs. There are many examples of this including TIA/stroke risk assessment and paediatric asthma. As 97% of patients are managed in general practice, the biggest improvements in quality of care, outcomes and efficiency in the NHS will come from the Mosaic Consultation clinical decision support modules enhancing GP, nurse and other healthcare professionals consultations with patients, particularly those with multiple morbidities.
