9 EHRS & “MEANINGFUL USE” Still being hotly debated Will include need for clinical decision support resources How to implement? Link to evidence based resources InfoButtons

10 INFOBUTTONS Software developed by James Cimino, MD Provides links to full text resources in EHR Can choose from multiple resources Funded by National Library of Medicine Many institutions and vendors now using InfoButtons Open Source Software

11 EXAMPLES OF USE

12 INFOBUTTONS LINK TO MORE INFORMATION

13 CAN PROVIDE A LIST OF QUESTIONS

14 WILL THEN LINK TO FULL TEXT ANSWER
