This study evaluates the impact of using a Clinical Decision Support System software in the form of a computer-guided consultation (CGC) when conducting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) reviews in primary care. 5221 patients on the COPD register underwent CGC review with 21.1% found not to have COPD. Previously unrecognised cardiac disease was highlighted by the CGC in 7% of confirmed COPD cases. CGC review resulted in the number of patients possessing a self-management plan rising from 62-85%. 13% were found to have sub-optimal inhaler technique during CGC review with the CGC prompting correction in all cases. Only 26% of patients identified by the CGC as appropriate for Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) referral had previously attended a PR program. The integration of technology in the form of clinical decision support system software results in greater implementation of guideline-level care representing a scalable solution when performing COPD reviews.
本研究评估了在初级保健中进行慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)评估时,使用计算机引导咨询(CGC)形式的临床决策支持系统软件的影响。COPD登记册上的5221名患者接受了CGC评估,发现21.1%的患者没有患COPD。在7%确诊的COPD病例中,CGC突出显示了先前未被识别的心脏疾病。CGC评估使拥有自我管理计划的患者数量从62%上升到85%。在CGC评估期间,发现13%的患者吸入器技术欠佳,CGC在所有病例中都促使进行了纠正。CGC确定适合转诊至肺康复(PR)的患者中,只有26%之前参加过PR项目。以临床决策支持系统软件形式整合技术,可在进行COPD评估时更大程度地实施指南级护理,这是一种可扩展的解决方案。
