Clinical Decision Support Mechanisms
Background
A Clinical Decision Support Mechanism (CDSM) is an interactive, electronic tool for use by clinicians that communicates appropriate use criteria (AUC) information to the user and assists them in making the most appropriate treatment decision for a patient’s specific clinical condition. They may be modules within or available through certified electronic health record (EHR) technology.
Applicants Seeking CDSM Qualification
- Applications must document current adherence to the qualified CDSM requirements under 42 CFR 414.94(g)(1) OR how and when each requirement is reasonably expected to be met.
