Observational StudyA combined paging alert and web-based instrument alters clinician behavior and shortens hospital length of stay in acute pancreatitis.
There are many published clinical guidelines for acute pancreatitis (AP). Implementation of these recommendations is variable. We hypothesized that a clinical decision support (CDS) tool would change clinician behavior and shorten hospital length of stay (LOS). ⋯ The TAPER-CDS-Tool is associated with changed clinician behavior and shortened hospital LOS, which has significant financial implications.
