AMIA and Philips to host Webinar on Decision Support for Mechanical Ventilation

AMIA and Philips Healthcare are hosting their third free CDS webinar event entitled: “Decision Support for Mechanical Ventilation,” at 1 pm (EDT), Wednesday, April 18, presented by Dr. Adam Seiver, VP and Chief Medical Officer for Philips Hospital Respiratory Care. The webinar series is hosted by Dr. Joe Frassica, Philips’ chief medical information officer and senior consultant at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

This hour-long session will discuss how the modern mechanical ventilator is a sophisticated life-saving device, but managing it around-the-clock for a patient with severe respiratory failure is a challenge for even the best critical care teams. Adjusting the ventilator is difficult because it involves complexity, dynamics and uncertainty—the big three cognitive challenges for any type of decision making. Mechanical ventilation is thus a natural area for computer-based clinical decision support (CDS).
