Purpose of Project

To translate an evidence-based Clostridioides difficile* (CDI) treatment clinical pathway using a systematic, transparent process into machine readable clinical decision support (CDS) prototyped for electronic health record (EHR) integration. (*The bacterium Clostridium difficile was renamed Clostridioides difficile in August 2016.)

Key Messages

  • Getting evidence into practice to improve clinical decision making remains an ongoing challenge.
  • We successfully translated a clinical pathway into machine readable CDS prototyped for EHR integration.
  • We used the CDS Authoring Tool on the CDS Connect website to translate this clinical pathway into Clinical Quality Language (CQL) shareable decision support.
  • Creating CDS artifacts from a clinical pathway informed by an EPC report may promote dissemination of work from AHRQ reports to a wide audience and support AHRQ’s Learning Health System initiatives.
