Table 5 Rating criteria used to elicit CDS priority performance gap-CDS opportunities: clinical performance gaps

Criterion 1: Importance

· Affects a relatively large number of patients (prevalence)

· On average, there are significant consequences to the patient in terms of increased risk of morbidity or mortality

· The gap may be addressed by patient engagement and delivery of more patient-centered care

· Poor performance leads to inefficient use of resources/waste in health care spending

· Scientific evidence or professional consensus exists on one or more actions to address the performance gap
