Update hospital order sets within 30 days of a guideline change
The pre-built treatment menus in hospital computers often stay unchanged for years. Require them to be updated within a month of any guideline change, using the machine-readable guideline feed.
Order sets and chemotherapy protocol libraries are the actual determinant of what gets prescribed, and they are updated by local committees on their own schedule. The proposal ties protocol libraries to the computable guideline feed with a 30-day service-level requirement, tracked and published per centre, and provides shared, validated protocol content (as the Cancer Care Ontario and NHS regimen libraries do) so each centre does not rebuild it.
- Knowledge reaches practice too slowly · Knowledge diffusion is slow: it takes years for a proven result to change what most patients receive, and no one can keep up with the literature.
