In patients with tuberculosis, does directly observed therapy (DOT) compared to self-administered therapy (SAT) improve treatment completion rates?

• P: Patients with tuberculosis
• I: Directly Observed Therapy (DOT)
• C: self-administered therapy (SAT)
• O: Treatment completion rates

Keywords for literature search:tuberculosis, directly observed therapy, self-administered therapy, treatment completion, adherence, compliance.

• First, refine the scope of your topic for clinical decision support. For example, alert the nurse that using multiple non-connected devices may attribute fatigue, suggest telemedicine to maintain the benefits of occupational therapy in stroke patients, potential drug-drug interaction, suggest diagnosis based on history and clinical Jingwen, etc.However, students may not reuse prior, completed coursework.
• • • Each student will be writing a literature review for this paper. On average, students should seek on average 8-10 articlespublished in the last five years(and not themselves review articles) for the literature review. See the materials included in this module for the conventions for writing a scholarly literature review.
    • The paper must address the research question (explicitly stated as a question), provide background information on why the topic is essential in health informatics, and include the intended search strategy.
    • The final paper must draw from the areas of course content that are outlined in the syllabus, including in the weekly materials (e.g., knowledge management, adoption, and implementation, CDS foundation, human cognition, and usability, knowledge representation, legal and regulatory issues, public health CDS, patient-facing CDSS, etc.).
• Third,
  • • Locate in the educational EHR Librehealth (login provided for Midterm) a patient or patients with a similar clinical problem. Collect all information about the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome.
    • Refine your cohort (ATLAS) if needed and collect all information provided regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and potential issues.
    • Based on the info found in the lit review and data collected from the EHR and the cohort data, design a guiding decision tree for your CDSS.
    • Finally, develop the prototype of the CDSS.

Note:

1. 1. This is an individual assignment. Teamwork is not permitted, yet peer review is. If
   2. The project must draw from the areas of course content that are outlined in the syllabus and included in the weekly materials (e.g., knowledge management, adoption and implementation, CDS foundation, human cognition and usability, knowledge representation, legal and regulatory issues, public health CDS, patient-facing CDSS, etc.).
   3. The report, including the prototype, maybe amaximum of 25 pages, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins, and size 12 Times New Roman or size 11 Arial font. The title page and references do not count toward the page limit.
   4. Students will submit a project report by the final due date.
   5. The paper must have the following components:
2. 1. 1. Introduction to the thesis or research question, inclusive of background and rationale.
      2. The statement of the CDSS's objective is an explicit statement of the research question.
      3. Methods section describing how you acquired, analyzed, and brought to bear relevant knowledge to address the problem at hand.
      4. A section on cohort selection and creation This section must be organized logically so that any reader new to the topic can follow it.
      5. An evaluative, reflective section discussing the limitations of your project, future needs and directions, critical implications for practice or science, and principal conclusions.
      6. A works cited/references section -this does not count toward your page maximum.
         • APA citation format preferred; whatever style you select, it must be correctly used, and the use must be consistent. Do not use footnotes for citations. The reference list should have full citation detail for each item (i.e., don't provide URLs only).
