HEALTHCARE DATABASES AND DECISION-MAKING
Module 8 – Healthcare Databases and Decision-Making
Databases are used by the healthcare organizations to make tactical (operational)
and strategic (planning) decision-making by providing data for generating the required
information. A Decision Support System (DSS) analyzes the data in databases and filters
and/or computes/processes data into information used for solving problems and making
business-related decisions. In healthcare, databases help providers both in improving
operational efficiency and clinical decision-making. A typical example of a database and a
decision-making combination is the Electronic Health Record (EHR) that maintains
a repository of healthcare data and the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) software
used to help providers make appropriate clinical decisions.
Module 8 Objectives:
After completing this module, you should be able to:
1. Examine the role of databases in healthcare decision-making.
2. Examine functions of Decision Support Systems (DSS).
3. Assess the role of healthcare databases in improving healthcare service
delivery quality.
4. Evaluate EHR as the data source, database, and DSS system.

4 Steps to making decisions with data in
healthcare https://blog.csgsolutions.com/making-decisions-with-data-in-healthcare
A Decision Support System (DSS) is an information system that guides the provider in the
process of making clinical, financial, and operational decisions. A typical healthcare facility,
like a hospital, may use several DSS to support its diverse operations. Evaluate the impact of
various DSS in any healthcare facility (hospital, ambulatory, urgent care, nursing home) with
clinical, operational, financial, supply chain and human resources functions. What could be
possible risks of not using these decisions-making tools for the organization?Why? Cite an
example of using DSS and assess its reliability in decision-making. Explain your reasoning.

Assignment
Using Internet resources, search three national and three international healthcare
organizations that maintain databases and use the information based on the processed data
from these databases in their decision-making process. Briefly describe the organizations and
types of data contained in their databases (make sure to remember quality of data points and
the processing functions of the tool). Analyze how that data is processed and converted into
information to meet specific requirements. How the received information is used for decision making. Are there shortcomings of such approach? Offer one-two for the review. How to
overcome them?
