CCKM: Center for Clinical Knowledge Management

The Center for Clinical Knowledge Management (CCKM) evaluates and organizes evidence to drive clinical decisions that promote efficiency, consistency and quality throughout UW Health.

About us

What we do

The Center for Clinical Knowledge Management develops and maintains clinical practice tools (guidelines, policies, best practice advisories, therapy plans, order sets, etc.) that define and enable the adoption of evidence-based care across the continuum of health needs.

In addition to developing these clinical practice tools, CCKM:

  • Standardizes the presentation of clinical decision support tools to enhance the usability and increase uptake of them to reduce unwarranted variation in care

  • Provides a single point of contact and substantive support for any UW Health committee, department or care team wishing to develop a clinical practice tool for managing the care of UW Health patients
