A Student-Led Clinical Informatics Enrichment Course for Medical Students

Abstract

Clinical informatics leverages data to integrate analytics and clinical decision-making with aims to improve the quality, safety, and cost effectiveness of care delivery.[1] Numerous examples of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have been shown to aid clinicians in diagnosis, outcome prediction, and disease management. Examples include but are not limited to infectious disease diagnosis,[2] thrombosis prophylaxis,[3] perioperative pediatric management,[4] and neurosurgical outcome prediction.[5] Such systems have been shown to benefit patient safety by reducing the incidence of adverse events such as medication errors,[6] [7] [8] care quality by ensuring adherence to established treatment guidelines, and cost reduction[9] by automating processes and decreasing resource waste.[10] [11]
