In the ambulatory setting, innovative solutions can both support individual care decisions as well as inform population health management for healthcare organizations. DIHI has enabled Duke to deliver high quality, low cost care in this setting, with innovations including a palliative care analytics solution, a PSA screening tool, and chronic kidney disease population health rounding support.
