Comp9 Unit7 Activity

This document discusses clinical guidelines and health information exchange standards. It covers three potential areas where clinical guidelines could be useful: 1) to standardize care and improve outcomes, 2) to reduce unnecessary tests and procedures, and 3) to help control healthcare costs. However, guidelines have not been widely accepted possibly because clinicians want flexibility and autonomy in their decisions or because guidelines take time to implement and see results. This document is part of a health IT workforce curriculum on supporting standards for electronic health records.
