:Th e is s u e
• Medical care delivered ≠ medical care recommended in evidence-based guidelines
• Is this a “problem”? Health policy: It is a problem. Docs not
following guidelines, pts don’t get best care. Docs: Construction as “problem” depends on
reason for differences
www.CenterForUrbanHealth.org
R e a s o n s id e n t if ie d:e m p ir ic a lly
1. Information overload Too many guidelines Unaware of specific recommendation Need info in the moment of delivering care
2. Limited resources for implementation. Docs don’t have time or staff No reimbursement
3. Recommendations not useful or relevant
www.CenterForUrbanHealth.org
1 : R e a s o n In f o o v e r lo a d
• Assumptions: Docs want to use guidelines, but don’t know what they are
• Source of the problem: Limits to human cognitive capacity
• Solution to the problem: Use information technology to enhance human cognitive capacity
www.CenterForUrbanHealth.org
2 . R e a s o n L im it e dr e s o u r c e s
• Assumptions: Docs want to use guidelines, know what they are, but cannot implement them with existing resources (e.g. time, staff)
• Source of the problem: Inadequate material resources
• Solution to the problem: Change reimbursement systems.

3 . R e a s o n N o t u s e f u l o rr e le v a n t
• Assumptions: Contested!• Epistemic legitimacy: Biomedicine vs.
epidemiology• Source of authority: Front-line clinicians vs.
university-based researchers• Credible “evidence”: Clinical practice vs.
controlled experiments• Problem? Contested!

A Vis io n o f t h e F u t u r e
• Individual practice sites will have up-to-date electronic decision support tools.
• Tools based on guidelines’ recommendations
• Recommendations based on evidence• Tools integrated into EHR systems.• Tool updates disseminated electronically

• Intelligent Designers Practiced by subgroup in academic medical
informatics community Supported by govt grants & contracts to universities Current efforts guided by vision of future
• Adaptive Agents Practiced by vendors & their healthcare customers Supported by market forces Current efforts guided by immediate needs

In t e ll ig e n t D e s ig n e r s
• Situated at: Source of guidelines• Looking towards: Universe of practitioners• Concept: Convert guidelines into executable
code; disseminate code to practice sites.• Implementation: Standards (to help local
implementation) adopted by: Guideline developers EHR systems Guideline coders.
• Information channels: Academic conferences & peer-reviewed journals

applet on delivery site’s Intranet.• System tool data exchange: Encrypted
data in URL of hyperlink• Tool system data exchange:
Individual patient record: Doc opens applet in read-only mode to get asthma-specific hx.
Aggregate records: Merge data extracted from EHR & data generated by applet

• Face challenges: Converting natural language narrative into
computer-executable code Implementing uniform code into widely
disparate local systems• Respond to challenges:
Designers: Design global solutions Adaptive agents: Locally adapt

Adaptation: Contest or accept
epistemic assumptions.
Proposed Solution: Standards

Adaptation: Whatever works

Meet immediate needsConvert narratives to CIGs, disseminate to local sites electronically

• HIT can encourage guideline-based care Addresses information overload Does not address:
Material resources Contested assumptions
www.CenterForUrbanHealth.org
P r e d ic t e d r e s p o n s e t o:c h a lle n g e s
• Dispersed, creative, adaptive efforts will continue: If regulatory & reimbursement systems create needs Successful adaptations will spread
• Global design efforts will continue If grant funding continues
Convergence towards standard representation language No convergence towards standard implementation
• Standards: May assist locally adaptive agents• Vision will manifest (if at all) by evolution, not design
Loosely coupled data exchange No one in control Messy, but will bring more guidelines to more points of care.
