title: Show us the evidence.
abstract: Evidence-based care is an initiative that both overlaps the implementation of key clinical information systems and follows it. Evidence-based care encompasses analysis of both clinical literature and data coming out of one's own organization. Development of EMR, CPOE, eMAR, advanced pharmacy, and other clinical IS, and of robust data warehouses and data reporting capabilities, is essential to progress in developing evidence-based care. CIOs play a vital role as facilitator-leaders in their organizations, with clinician leaders steering the direction of care improvement in pioneer organizations. CMIOs and other clinical informaticists will be essential facilitators in bridging understandings and skill sets going forward.
