Clinical decision support platforms allow health systems to empower advanced practice providers (APPs) and clinical support staff, increasing revenue and decreasing costs.
Physician shortages have accelerated the need for APPs and clinical support staff to take on crucial roles in delivering care.
Physician shortage is a real and growing problem in the United States. According to new projections published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the United States will face a physician shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. As a result, nurses, physician assistants, and medical assistants have the opportunity to fill gaps in lower-acuity issues like taking initial consults, ordering medications, triaging and more. This allows health systems and provider practices to accept more patients and lower costs associated with hiring physicians. Evidence-driven AI clinical decision support systems allow APPs and clinical support staff to deliver standardized, best-in-class patient care according to system guidelines and protocols.
5 Steps to Upleveling APPs and Clinical Support Staff
- Identify Areas of Opportunity: Assess where you have physician shortages and where your APPs or clinical support staff are being underutilized.
- Standardize Evidence and Protocol: Determine what guidelines and protocols would be most appropriate to empower APPs and clinical support staff at the point of care.
- Integrate Evidence into the Workflow: Using the latest in AI and decision-support tools, convert evidence into actionable tools that APPs and clinical support staff can easily utilize.
- Assess in Action: Create key metrics to track progress on your initiative. For example, medications prescribed by APPs, notes generated, telehealth visits completed, etc.
- Learn and Expand: Learn from the first group of providers or departments launched and determine how to expand across your system or practice
