First, a Story: The Night mhealth Saved a Life 2
The Night mhealth Saved a Life Obstretician-Gynegologist was called in at 3 am. Patient in massive shock post-partum Common maneuvers were not working Rarely performed emergency measures needed Doctor was not familiar with them What happens next? UpToDate.! 3
The Night mhealth Saved a Life Conducted a search on UpToDate: Surgical techniques were perfectly and efficiently described. I read them aloud to the surgical team. Within 5 minutes I was performing the exact maneuver described in the text. It worked perfectly. The patient's life was saved by that maneuver. a life I was able to save thanks to immediate access to UpToDate on my cell phone. 4
Doctors Have Clinical Questions Unanswered clinical questions impact patient management decisions Approximately 2 out of 3 clinical encounters generate a question Physicians have approximately 11 clinical questions a day 60 % of questions go unanswered Answering all clinical questions could change 5 to 8 patient management decisions each day Covell, DG.

Access Options: Standard Search versus HL7 Infobutton Standard search UpToDate accessed via search box, button/icon or link Very limited contextual support (e.g., adult/pediatric/patient) HL7 Infobutton or HL7-assisted free text search More contextual information is sent for an HL7 targeted search than for a standard targeted search UpToDate accessed via a button/icon or search box 37
Leveraging HL7 Infobuttons Context Aware Knowledge Retrieval Applications Lower barriers to the access of knowledge resources at the point of need (HL7) Tailored searches of CDS content contextual to your specific patient Search CDS targeted to your patient: Disease Condition Medication Lab results Age Gender 38
