Primary CDS Task Force Activity Area (July 2009- June 2010)
1. Supporting Providers in Leveraging CDS to Achieve Meaningful Use:
Federal incentives and penalties related to achieving 'Meaningful Use' of EHRs are just one manifestation of the growing imperative to measurably improve the quality, safety and cost of care delivery. CDS is a powerful tool for ensuring that stakeholders in care processes have the information needed to make decisions that lead to these better outcomes.
The CDS Task Force is engaged in a variety of inter-related activities to synthesize and disseminate successful approaches for harnessing CDS in achieving meaningful use and related healthcare performance improvement objectives. Below is an overview of these activities, with links to further details. Please look over these materials and jump into the fray in areas where we can help you and you can help us!

2. Meaningful Use: Linking HIMSS CDS Implementation Guidance to MU Criteria
Many of the criteria for acheiving the 'meaningful use' of EHRs that are required for providers to receive stimulus funding under ARRA depend directly, or are facilitated by, successful CDS deployment. HIMSS has provided extensive guidance for successful CDS implementation, and under this project we are assembling portions of this guidance that speak directly to individual meaninful use requirements. In addition, we invite CDS implementers to share 'pearls' from their experiences on successfully applying CDS to specific items required for meaningful EHR use.
