Description
The University of Calgary is seeking the development of a digital Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that incorporates Alberta-specific evidence-based antimicrobial stewardship guidance into structured decision pathways for primary care prescribing practitioners. The system must be mature, production-ready, field-tested, and validated within Alberta and Canadian healthcare environments. It should include syndrome-based antibiotic prescribing recommendations, allergy assessment, antimicrobial therapy duration, and align with WHO’s AWaRe classification. The CDSS must embed local antimicrobial resistance data and antibiograms, support ongoing guideline updates, and operate independently without storing patient health information.
