Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Electronic address:
Background: We hypothesised that the implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) embedded perioperative clinical decision support (CDS) application, Anesthesia Testing Guidelines (ATG), would result in at least a 10% reduction of unnecessary perioperative testing in patients undergoing elective surgeries.
Methods: The development and implementation of ATG occurred in several phases: 1) team development, 2) development of an embedded EMR application, 3) creation of ATG training and education toolkit, and 4) implementation involving promoting ATG through training and education, addressing challenges, and monitoring compliance. The proportions of patients with any overutilisation across 19 perioperative tests were compared between the baseline cohort and the ATG implementation cohort.
