Asynchronous alerts can also be triggered by elapsed time. These expectationtracking alerts will fire unless something satisfies or cancels the alert. Expectationtracking alerts can be used to ensure that certain types of follow-up occur. A generic form of expectation tracking can be used to implement a health maintenance reminder system [17], which keeps track of long-term health maintenance issues such as advising colonoscopy in patients over age 50, etc. Due to the long-term nature of health maintenance issues, specialized systems that are optimized to track the state of the expectations over long periods of time are often used rather than traditional Arden-like medical logic modules.

Chapter 2 Electronic Health Record Features, Functions, and Privileges That Clinicians Need to Provide Safe and Effective Care for Adults and Children Dean F. Sittig, Christopher A. Longhurst, Elise Russo, and Hardeep Singh Abstract This chapter will describe and discuss key requirements to enable clinician-users of electronic health records (EHRs) to deliver high-quality, safe, and effective care. ” The “rights” represent not merely desirable, but also important EHR features, functions, and user privileges that clinicians need to perform their job.

This might have solved the “curly brace” issue, but did not solve the harder problem of the lack of standards to integrate the guideline engine itself into the EHR. Another problem is that a typical clinical guideline might naturally evolve over long periods of time, crossing multiple encounters, and involving numerous providers. For this to work in an EHR, the current state of the guideline would need to be preserved for future encounters, and the EHR would need some way to ensure that the treating clinicians are aware that the patient is being managed under one or more “active” guidelines.
