Agile Clinical Decision Support Development

Designing effective Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tools in an Electronic Health Record (EHR) can prove challenging due to complex clinical scenarios and changing requirements; application of agile principles and practices proves helpful in the development and delivery of effective CDS tools for use in clinical care. By applying agile project management methods such as short time-boxed iterations with demos of working software at end-iteration, and agile modeling techniques, we were able to deliver over 100 new CDS and EHR data collection tools in calendar year 2015, a marked increase over our prior capability.
