ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTATION can improve organizational processes in health care settings and may be of particular benefit to ambulatory surgery centers. A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DSS) can be integrated with an electronic documentation system. A DSS can identify potential errors and deviations from best practices and provide electronic alerts for health care clinicians to support patient screening and care. BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTATION of a DSS include practitioner noncompliance with alerts and limitations in system design. NURSES CAN BE INSTRUMENTAL in overcoming the barriers that prevent some clinicians from adopting these useful information systems. AORN J 86 (December 2007) 970–979. © AORN, Inc, 2007.
