Measure
Contextual Survey + Contextual CDS
Contextual factors obtained from patients in the Contextual Survey along with contextual red flags already stored in the EHR will produce a variety of Contextual Clinical Decision Support, both passive and interruptive alerts. Contextual clinical decision support: Incorporation of contextual data into EHR clinical decision support alerts Contextual survey: Patients complete a survey asking about red flags that could signal contextual factors relevant to their care
Contextual Survey Only
Contextual factors obtained from patients in the Contextual Survey along with contextual red flags already stored in the EHR will not be used for CDS or to produce alerts. Contextual survey: Patients complete a survey asking about red flags that could signal contextual factors relevant to their care
