The AMPEL-CDSS operates a clinical decision support system in routine care and is continuously researching its application. We focus on increased patient safety and improved diagnostics by harnessing the potential of digital medicine.
Through the AMPEL-CDSS, medical decision-makers are supported in their work to provide patient care through improved availability and automatic prioritisation of medical information.
The core element of the project is the reporting system, which alerts within seconds if there are indications of acute clinical patterns and delays in further diagnosis and treatment. The basis for this is a complex data combination of laboratory medical results and data from the hospital information system.
Starting in 2020, the software was activated at three hospitals. In addition to the tertiary care center, Leipzig University Hospital, two standard care hospitals, the Muldentalkliniken in Grimma and Wurzen, and thus a total of more than 1500 beds are connected to the AMPEL-CDSS. Thanks to the randomized implementation, important scientific evidence on the benefits of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can be collected.
