What is the purpose of the SmartSet Base in relation to BPA's?

The SmartSet Base plays a crucial role in enhancing criteria forms and Best Practice Advisory (BPA) suggestions within the EpicCare system. It serves as a framework that allows the integration of clinical guidelines and protocols to be organized in a way that is easily accessible and actionable for healthcare providers.

When developing a SmartSet, healthcare organizations can define specific parameters, best practices, and clinical pathways that align with their care standards. This integrated approach allows for better decision support through BPAs, which aim to alert clinicians about opportunities for quality improvement based on the individual patient's data and the organization's clinical guidelines. By enriching the SmartSet Base with targeted criteria and BPA suggestions, healthcare providers receive relevant recommendations that are directly applicable to their patient population, ultimately enhancing patient care quality and ensuring compliance with established practice standards.

This capability fosters a more efficient clinical workflow while ensuring that providers are equipped with actionable insights, all of which underscore the importance of the SmartSet Base in clinical decision-making processes.
