Clinical decision support (CDS) refers broadly to providing clinicians or patients with clinical knowledge and patient-related information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance patient care. Clinical knowledge of interest could range from simple facts and relationships to best practices for managing patients with specific disease states, new medical knowledge from clinical research and other types of information.

CDS components

There are several key components of a good clinical decision support system. [1]

Order set

An order set is a group of related orders which a physician can place with a few keystrokes or mouse clicks. An order set allows users to issue prepackaged groups of orders that apply to a specified diagnosis or a particular period of time. One of the main impetuses for order sets comes from the need to improve user acceptance of computer-based physician order entry, by decreasing the time physicians require to enter orders. Using order sets reduces both time spent entering orders and terminal usage. [2][3] [4]

Medication decision support

Non-medication safety rules

CDS benefits

Results indicate the potential of CDS to improve the quality of care. These are good reasons for institutions to adopt CDS, but they should do so at their own pace and volition.

  • Better clinical decision making leads to better practices.
  • Reduces the medication errors
  • Promote preventive screening and use of evidence based recommendations
  • Cost reduction and increased patient convenience

Interaction models for clinical decision support

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is a system that was developed by a team of system engineers and clinicians. The system would take some of the workload from medical teams by assisting the physicians with tasks like diagnosis & Therapy recommendations.

Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing

Validation and Verification of Clinical Decision Support

Sample Decision Support Content

CDS Implementation

CDS should be designed to provide the right information to the right person in the right format through the right channel at the right time.

At the stage of planning for any new health IT system, there are some considerations and steps that should be followed to guarantee the system success; such as identifying the needs and functional requirements, deciding whether to purchase a commercial system or build the system, planning for encouraging physicians to use CDS, designing a system to evaluate how well the system has addressed the identified needs[1].

Challenges and considerations

  • Improve the human* computer interface.
  • Disseminate best practices in CDS design, development, and implementation.
  • Summarize patient* level information.
  • Prioritize and filter recommendations to the user.
  • Create an architecture for sharing executable CDS modules and services.
  • Combine recommendations for patients with co* morbidities.
  • Create internet* accessible clinical decision support repositories.
  • Use free text information to drive clinical decision support.
  • Mine large clinical database to create new CDS.

Those are important points that are critical for achievement of the potential of CDS and improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare[2].

Clinical Decision Support overview

Success criteria estimates

To estimate the success of the system we should look at the following points[3]:

  1. System quality.
  2. Information quality
  3. Usage
  4. User satisfaction
  5. Individual impact
  6. Organizational impact.
