Core Clinical System Design

Clinical System Design (CSD) is the process for planning, selecting, designing and building clinical content (documentation, decision and inquiry support tools) in the Connect Care clinical information system (CIS).

“Core” CSD, such as a default format for AHS progress notes, applies to multiple areas or contexts across the continuum of care. The Connect Care initiative groups core clinical content into 4 categories:

• Clinical Documentation Supports, including templates, flowsheets, forms, questionnaires, and text automations.

• Clinical Decision Supports, including references, reminders, alerts, assists and guides.

• Clinical Improvement Supports, including reports, registries, performance metrics and visualizations.

• Component Supports, including order navigators, categories, terminologies and catalogues.
