Clinical Score Usefulness and EHR Integration (ScoreInt)

March 27, 2017 updated by: Christopher Aakre, Mayo Clinic

Evaluation of Clinical Score Usefulness and Feasibility of Integration Into Electronic Health Record Interfaces

The SOFA score is a severity of illness and prognostic score used in the ICU. It has also recently been adopted as part of the definition of sepsis. This study will prospectively evaluate the usability of automated SOFA scoring for ICU patients within an electronic patient monitoring dashboard. It will also assess for changes in physician ordering (volume and types of orders) after automatic scoring is implemented.
