Decision Support Tool
A novel real-time decision support tool (DST) with guaranteed feedback that is based on the existing electronic medical record system was developed at a tertiary academic center.  Implementation of the DST increased the compliance rate with the SCIP-inf-4 from 87.3% to 96.5%.  Further and, ideally, multicenter studies are required to test if implementation of electronic DSTs will translate into improved resource utilization and outcomes for patients.
