Do you have a CDS Website at your facility?


Hello All,

I am a recent subscriber to CDI Talk. I have been a CDS for 4 years and
have been certified for 2 years. I work for a small facility that is part
of a larger organization and we are creating a website that will be
accessible to all associates. It will have an area accessible only to CDS
and an area specific for physician to click on for more information about
the program. My question is are there any other CDS programs that have a
website and do the doctors have access? If so, what is the content on the
physician site? Thanks!!

    I have a SharePoint site on our facilities Intranet. All staff have
    read access to everything on it which includes all previous newsletters,
    tip cards, documentation guides, etc.

    I manage the CDI program at a hospital that is part of a larger system. We have a web page for the CDS's of the whole system to access educational materials that we collect or create that are intended for use among ourselves or with physicians. This material is organized by specialty (cardiac, oncology, etc..)

    Here at my facility I developed a web page titled Physician Resources that is intentionally very clean and simple. The idea is that a single click may be all a provider will take the effort for! The page is accessed from the Physician Web Portal where many of the sites they need frequent access to are linked.

    The page has a Tip of the Week that I change every week or 2 in the upper left corner under the title of the page. To the right of that is a group picture of our CDS's. Right under the picture is the assignment and contact info for each CDS. The provider can click on the name or email address and contact immediately or call the cell phone.

    We develop single sheet educational topics for the docs called A Closer Look At... and it might be post-op encephalopathy or ATN.. we have 20 or so that are kept updated with credible references. These are linked on one side of the page - and then the pocket cards (documentation tips/ language for each specialty) that we have designed for download to smart phones are linked on the other side of the page with instructions for download/ use. And that is it.

    I too am interested to learn what others have had success with. Good question!

  • For those of you that have a website that is accessed by physicians, do
    you track the number of hits you receive? If so, how are you tracking it
    and can you tell what is referenced by physicians the most? Thanks!

    I do not have a practical way of tracking hits.
