The human resource costs of implementing autopend clinical decision support to improve health maintenance.
This study estimated the costs of developing and implementing the Sutter Health autopend functionality within an existing electronic health maintenance (HM) reminder system. Findings showed that developing and implementing autopend took more than 3 years, involved 6 managers and 3 Epic programmers, and cost $201,500 and 2670 total hours, excluding the costs of implementing the initial HM reminder system. The autopend clinical decision support might be similarly costly for other organizations to implement if their managers need to complete comparable activities. However, electronic health record vendors could include autopend as a standard package to reduce development costs and improve the uptake of this promising clinical decision support tool.
