Information needs and the use of documentation to support collaborative decision-making: implications for the reduction of central line-associated blood stream infections.
It is clear that interdisciplinary communication and collaboration have the potential to mitigate healthcare-associated harm, yet there is limited research on how communication through documentation in the patient record can support collaborative decision making. Understanding what information is needed to support collaborative decision making is necessary to design electronic health information systems that facilitate effective communication and, ultimately, safe care. To explore this issue, the investigators focused on information needs related to central venous catheter management and the prevention of central line-associated blood stream infections.
