Strategies for Engineering Reliable Value Sets (SERVS) - Project Summary/Abstract Significant evidence suggests that clinical decision support (CDS), when used effectively, can improve health care quality, safety, and effectiveness. However, despite its potential, CDS can cause significant adverse events due to malfunctions. In our previous work, we identified that a significant source of CDS malfunctions is related to problems with maintaining accurate and consistent value sets. Value sets are “lists of codes and corresponding terms, from NLM-hosted standard clinical vocabularies (such as SNOMED CT®, RxNorm, LOINC® and others), that define clinical concepts.” They are commonly used in both CDS and clinical quality measures (CQMs) to define complex concepts. Creating and maintaining value sets is inherently challenging, and value set errors can lead to errors in both CDS and quality measurement. In the first NLM-funded iteration of SERVS, we confirmed the widespread nature of these errors and that they have a variety of addressable causes. In the SERVS renewal, we propose to de- velop novel and innovative machine learning and ontology-based approaches for improving value sets and to create new open-source tools to help value set authors and users. Taken together these tools and techniques will improve clinical decision support and quality measurement, reduce alert fatigue and con- tribute to improvements in safety and quality.
