urrently, medical mistakes are the third-leading cause of
patient deaths in the United States and also a statistically
significant cause globally. Given the complexity of medical
practice and healthcare delivery, the rapidly increasing volume
and variety of relevant information, and the limitations and
deficiencies of human cognition; cognitive overload arguably is
the root cause of medical mistakes. Therefore, clinical cognitive
support is the required remedy for medical mistake mitigation.
Because, real-time information technology (IT) is the only cost-
effective modality for cognitive support and automatic process
management as demonstrated for decades in most industries
other than healthcare. Therefore, the author has architected
an IT solution named Cloud Healthcare Appliance Real-Time
Solution as a Service (CHARTSaaS)

. CHARTSaaS is an internet
cloud software integrated development environment (IDE)
intended for healthcare provider subject matter experts (SMEs)
to design, develop, deploy, operate and optimize IT clinical
support applications a.k.a. “apps” withminimal cost or need for
IT staffor systemsupport. SMEs simply subscribe to CHARTSaaS,
login via the secure portal, and then use the administration
(apps and other digital artifacts), Analysis (Bayesian/multi-
variate similarity and predictive), Connection (to EHRs and other
data/logic sources), Decision (Boolean conditions and actions
template), Documentation (access and management), Widget
(pre-programmed logic including graphical user interfaces) and
Workflow (flowchart with user swim lanes template) features to
create and implement apps by using drag-and-drop, text entry,
drop-down list selection and other methods not requiring IT
technical training. Such apps can run continuously, notify users
conditionally and thereby mitigate “failure to rescue” risk.
