RESUMEN
30% of the Argentinian population and 58% of Plan de Salud HIBA patients are unaware of their HIV status. The Ministry of Health and US Preventive Service Task recommends physicians to assess HIV infection in persons aged 15 to 65. An HIV screening reminder integrated in an electronic health record (EHR) was created using FHIR to represent clinical information and CDS-Hooks to represent the exchange of information with a CDS service. The tool had a 1% intervention rate, and 67.4% acceptance rate. The number of HIV screening tests requested during the weeks after the CDSS implementation and in the same period in 2017 were obtained. 575 orders were requested in the 2017 period and 893 in the 2018. 89 (almost 10%) of these came from the electronic tool. The preliminary results indicate that this non disruptive, action oriented reminder can contribute to increased HIV screening orders.
