The CDS/PI Collaborative has demonstrated that care delivery organizations and others can enhance their target-focused CDS activities by using CDS/QI Worksheets to document, analyze and share how they are applying CDS interventions to achieve specific performance improvement (PI) goals. This page provides a step-by-step approach for using the CDS/QI Worksheets and related Resources to improve your CDS/PI planning, execution and results. It can be used by providers, EHR/HIT vendors and others. (See here for stakeholder-specific activities and benefits).

Steps to CDS/QI-enabled Improvements in Care Processes and Outcomes
Ways CDS/QI Worksheets Can Be Used
Providers and other CDS/QI stakeholder should keep in mind the various ways CDS/QI Worksheets have been used in the CDS/PI Collaborative and that might be beneficial in their improvement efforts. For specific improvement targets these include:
- Documenting, analyzing and improving information flow/workflow by stakeholders within a single care setting
- Enhancing CDS/QI strategy and implementation across care settings in a delivery network
- Strengthening collaboration between providers and partners - such as EHR vendors and HIT/quality improvement organizations
- Sharing CDS/QI strategies across non-affiliated organizations to accelerate learning and surface additional CDS/QI approaches
- Value demonstrated during Collaborative's pilot stage
- Presenting CDS/QI approaches used in organizations that have achieved exemplary results on the target
- See QI Case studies (II.A) in CDS/QI Resources
- Synthesizing best information flow/workflow practices from extensive, multi-site CDS/QI experience
- See SHM recommendations on CDS/QI approach to VTE prophylaxis (Excel PDF (11X17"))
