EFFECTIVENESS AND SATISFACTION
• 84% of all KnowledgeLink queries are answered
• 17% of physician use results in a change in management, 33% among specialists
• >=80% rated KnowledgeLink positively on– Ease of use– Relevance– Speed– Impact on patient care
Comments
• General Praise– Knowledge link is fantastic. VERY useful.– Great resource!!– I love knowledge link
• Quality of Care– …very helpful with patient-directed questions during the visit– I was able to quickly answer the patient’s question …the patient
had been promptly served on his needs– This info actually saved me from making a medical error…I rarely
use this feature of the LMR, but this time it really helped me
• Convenience– Knowledge Link is a great time saver…handy and easy to use.– I really like having the ability to look up drugs without having to
change screens– I really like having the information available one click away from
the med list– I was very happy to be able to click on the information link as I was
pulling up the prescription– To have info on meds right at my fingertips is a great timesaver– it is very helpful to have all the information right at my finger tips
instead of browsing through multiple book sources

Summary
• Infobuttons are utilized and valued by all types of care providers, not just MDs– Rapid adoption despite lack of training or
introduction– Extremely positive feedback overall
• Infobuttons are effective (84% answer rate)
• Infobuttons can have significant impact on patient care even when used infrequently, but direct measurement of effect is difficult
• A minimal implementation can be both technically simple and clinically effective
HL7 Standard for Infobutton Integration
Guilherme Del Fiol, MD, MSIntermountain Health Care
University of UtahSalt Lake City, UT
Why do we need a standard?
• There is not a common integration language– Query parameter names– Terminologies used for content
search retrieval
• Hundreds of resources available– Not designed for infobutton
integration: suboptimal results– Labor intensive integration: just a few
are actually used
http://resource1.com/search = “azithromycin AND dose”
What is the dose of azithromycin ?i
Multiple ways of “asking” the same question
http://resource3.com/
searchConcept = 3333 ^ azithromycin
filter = 11 ^ dosage
http://resource2.com/
query = "azithromycin"[MeSH Terms] AND dose[All Fields]

Example 2
• The user (an RN) is looking at a medication list of a female, Spanish speaker, 32 years-old patient. The user clicks on the infobutton next to “Azithromycin” and is presented with a series of links. The user selects the “patient education" link.
<patientContext> <age value="32" unit="y"/> <gender code="C10174" displayName=“Female"/>

Commercial InfoButton Applications
Content Vendors Perspective
Nick AckersonProduct Manger – Integrated
SolutionsThomson Healthcare
InfoButton Snapshot
• Growing list of HCO’s adopting principle of embedded CDS (InfoButtons)
• Growing list of HIS vendors realizing benefits of CDS/customer pull
• Thought leading academia prevalent and well known. Leading push
• InfoButton API’s now available with commercial access, not just academics
• HCO’s striving for comprehensive, unbiased standardization of access to clinical content investments. (HL7)
Clinical Deployment ResultsA Case Study: Wake Med
• 851 Bed Integrated Health Care System, Research Triangle, Raleigh NC
• 444,360 Outpatient Visits• 13,702 Inpatient Surgery & Endoscopy• 25,954 Outpatient Surgery & Endoscopy• 24,908 Cardiovascular procedures• Ranks #1 in volume among all North Carolina
Hospitals, highest volume Heart Center• North Carolina’s first freestanding Children’s ED
~40,000
Wake Med’s Clinical Motivators
• Manual upkeep of drug policies and procedures
• Regulation compliance • Practice variation• Medical errors• Adverse events
Other Motivators
• The need to centralize and streamline accessibility to clinical knowledge
• Assess impact of deploying evidenced-based drug content
• Analysis of staff time and productivity• Improved decision making/Empower
clinicians• Optimization of content workflow tools
to improve performance
Online Injectable Administration
Results of Deployment
• Over 55% of Wake Meds surveyed respondents were using InfoButton
• Altered course of treatment 20% of the time
• Overall satisfaction was excellent• Integration time was 2 – 4 weeks• Training was communicated in
newsletter.
Wake Med Usage
Benefits Realized by Users/Institution
• Reduces time/effort to answer key clinical questions - little/no training required
• More care, less searching - used frequently
• Needed knowledge more directly into workflow - affects decisions
• Context/patient-specific information - more responsive to needs
Benefits for Institution
• Enhanced care sooner: – Quick/easy integration; hosted data– less training
• Promotes best clinical practices: – Reduce unanswered/un-pursued clinical ?s
and negative care impact – Alters medical/treatment decision 15-20% of
the time*
• Leverages existing subscriptions– Summary/infobutton -> drill down to richer
content

Lessons Learned
• Flexible, scaleable, HL7-compliant technology key to meet realities of HIS vendors and HCOs (API’s)
• Granular content leveraging robust Content Management System is key asset
• Testing protocols and implementation team is key to successful deployment and usage
• Demonstrated value from dynamic delivery of information relevant to the clinician’s task
• Academic research and ongoing market analysis are key to continuous improvement
• InfoButtons are used by health care providers of all disciplines
• InfoButtons are convenient, intuitive, effective, and relatively simple to implement
• Standardized messaging should increase specificity and utility over time, Build out technology
• Efficient, intuitive, productive and proven to improve care and prevent ADE’s
