Under Construction
Background
- This page a key component of the ACTS COVID-19 Guidance to Action Collaborative Learning Community's effort to enhance the COVID-19 knowledge ecosystem (see here for an overview of this effort).
- The key use case we're focused on initially in this effort is optimizing how 'living guidance' (e.g., CDS, eCQMs, eCase Reports) being deployed by Collaborative participants focused on targets such as anticoagulation and testing/triage for COVID-19 can be kept up to date most efficiently and effectively by leveraging 'living recommendations/guidelines' on these topics. And, in turn, informing these guidelines with living systematic reviews that are likewise fed in more automated ways by proactive signaling about important new studies on these targets.
- Collaborative participants such as the Veterans Administration, American College of Emergency Physicians, University of Minnesota, the AU Living Guidelines/University of Melbourne, NACHC, C19HCC Digital Guidelines WG and others have ways they're currently managing this supply chain - and they'll be documenting these in the 'Participant Windows' that are 'child pages' under this Participant Summary Window.
- The tables below synthesize how Collaborative participants are managing the COVID-19 knowledge supply chain - augmented with best practice tools and strategies from GIN and its members, SRDR, COKA and other Collaborative participants. The knowledge ecosystem/supply chain approaches and resources documented in these tables should include enhancements that Collaborative participants (and others) can use to improve their current efforts and results.
- Pages under this page are 'Participant Windows' for Learning Community members to share information about their Collaborative-related knowledge supply chain efforts with others - and to provide raw material for this Participant Window Summary page. The goal is for the teams maintaining the individual Participant Window pages to enable others to benefit from what they are doing and learning within the evidence/guidance ecosystem. And in return, enable others to provide strategies, tools and other input help to the teams responsible for each page accelerate their own ecosystem enhancement efforts.
- The 3 tables below synthesize highlights about ecosystem approaches, tips, and needs across Collaborative participants - as reflected in what they are sharing in their respective Participant Windows. These tables also include other key information (e.g., regarding tools, strategies, needs) provided by other Collaborative participants and not otherwise captured in individual Participant Windows.

Current Approach |
| |
| Pearls/Tips Learned/Tools | | - getting variables coded/mapped is key but time consuming (UMN)
|
| Desired Approach | - Harmonize latest evidence from multiple sources and serve/push the guidance to partnered HCCNs (NACHC)
| - better mapping approaches/collaboration with terminology vendors to speed mapping (UMN)
- Pull together multiple fit-for-purpose standards addressing the whole stack: BPM+, SNOMED, FHIR, ANF (VA)
- Interoperable format leveraging CPG-on-FHIR (working with C19 digital guideline WG on this) (UMN)

Current Approach |
|
|
|
| Pearls/Tips Learned/Tools | |
|
|
| Desired Approach | | - more real-time tracking of results (UMN)
- Gain insights on any specific intervention and patient outcomes at an aggregate for each health center controlled network (NACHC)
| - Feed real-time info on guideline adherence to providers (UMN)
- Long-term implementation of data capture / workflow improvements (NACHC)
|
| Needs to Achieve Desired Approach | Check all that apply __Better source/input materials [Details: ] __Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data - [Collaboration with others so that decisions we make about standards to use are compatible with choices made by others (VA)]
__Other [Details:] - Certification/trainings so current CDS builders can quickly learn new skills - e.g., CDS hooks/Smart on FHIR/etc. (UMN)
| Check all that apply __Better source/input materials [Details: ] __Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data [Details: ] - Collaborative effort to harmonize and standardize data capture and automated, continuous data extraction. (NACHC)
