Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | |
Simple |
|
Complex | Adaptive systems | |
External adverse event reporting (no use of system) | Reporting involving information from CMR | Reporting using the CMR as vehicle | Interactive reporting where CMR sends and receives information, informing user of the risks | |
Simple prescribing | Prescribing with limited functions (interaction checking) | “Intelligent” prescribing where CMR uses local information such as guidelines to inform prescribing decisions | “Autonomous” prescribing where system integrates internal and external information to determine optimal management | |
Simple audit feedback loops | Audit data compared with external data to assess performance | Audit data pooled and used to develop local benchmarks as well as population health activities | Real-time data aggregation and assessment to allow ‘just in time’ monitoring of population, during pandemics, for example | |
Largely External to CMR | Integrated in CMR | CMR linked to other information sources | Integrated into health system | |
Distributed database Isolated Linkage Integration |
