Using nudges

A nudge is displayed as a physician creates documentation in the EMR either through dictation or typing. As text is entered, CDI Engage One uses Natural Language Processing and Natural Language Understanding to reason over the text against a set of rules. To help provides improve the clinical documentation, nudges will appear as cards in the drawer when NLU/NLP finds opportunities for improvement.

In the example above, the provider has documented "hypertension" and "congestive heart failure," but has not confirmed "hypertensive heart disease."

To resolve a nudge

  1. Return to the document in question.

  2. Using either dictation or typing, provide the information requested.

  3. CDI Engage One will reason over the new text and, if the nudge is resolved, it will disappear from the drawer.
