When clinicians and clinical informaticists read this article, will it provide a kind of “light-bulb” moment for them?
Well, I hope so. And the quicker we get to this, the more lives will be saved. We need to think about providing tools within these systems to allow for using local data to help improve decision-making. It’s the holy grail—the ability to facilitate having the average doctor use this combination of tools to make good decisions on a real-time basis.
What would your advice be to CIOs and CMIOs, based on this?
I would tell them that, to whatever extent is feasible, they should decentralize and federate their analytics tools.
Because that will help spark a certain kind of creativity or ingenuity, right?
Yes, because the more you keep these tools restricted to a centralized group of experts, the less innovation you’re going to get.
