Read the following scenario.

Your facility received the flowing performance data after implementing a clinical decision support system (CDSS). The goal is to have 100% compliance with CDSS use.

CDSS use among providers was 81.4%
76% of providers approved of the newly implemented CDSS
Cited reasons for not using CDSS included mistrust of the system and a fear of potential diagnostic errors
Based on the above performance data and metrics, design an interprofessional educational tool such as PowerPoint, infographic, pamphlet, or another presentation format to mitigate the mistrust of the proposed CDSS and help increase compliance. Address the following requirements.

Use PowerPoint, Word, or an available online creation tool such as Canva to create the educational tool.
Create a tool that is professional in appearance and tone and balanced spatially including words and graphics.
Follow APA rules for grammar, spelling, word usage, and punctuation consistent with formal, scholarly writing.
Provide resources from at least two scholarly resources. Include in-text citations in APA format when applicable.
Include the following sections (detailed criteria listed below and in the grading rubric):

Problem identification: Identify the intended audience. For this scenario, assume the audience is a group of Advanced Practice Nurses working in your intended field of specialty (i.e. FNP, Adult-Gero, Psych-Mental Health, etc.) at a facility. Present the concern using the provided performance data.
Benefits: Discuss at least three benefits of using CDSS. Provide support from at least one scholarly source including statistical data supporting CDSS use.
Risks: Describe at least three risks associated with bypassing the use of alerts in the CDSS. Provide support from at least one scholarly source.
Strategies: Provide at least three strategies for providers to increase the use of CDSS. Provide support from at least one scholarly source.
Reflection: Reflect on your learning and consider how the knowledge will improve your effectiveness as an advanced practice nurse.  Discuss how you might use this tool in your practice.
