The use of clinical decision-support tools to facilitate geriatric education.

Abstract:

:Innovative methods are needed to incorporate effective geriatric education into internal medicine residency programs. The purpose of this report is to describe the development and use of clinical decision-support (CDS) tools to facilitate geriatric education and improve the care delivered to older adults in an academic internal medicine residency ambulatory care clinic. Starting in 2009, CDS tools were implemented as a major strategy of an initiative to improve resident physician clinical competencies in geriatrics and improve the quality of care and quality of life of older adults. These tools, designed to improve resident assessment and action for each of three educational modules (falls, vision, and dementia) were embedded within the ambulatory electronic medical record (EMR) and provided a method of point-of-care training to residents caring for older adults. One hundred internal medicine residents supervised by 17 general internal medicine faculty members participated. Data regarding CDS use and associated outcomes were recorded and extracted from the ambulatory clinic EMR. Residents screened between 67% and 88% of eligible patients using CDS algorithms; rates of additional assessment and referral or further examination reflected the prevalence of the condition in the patient population. Although further development may be necessary, CDS tools are a promising modality to supplement geriatric postgraduate education while simultaneously improving patient care.
