Background

This article intends to explore how clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) could improve patient safety and the quality of care through preventing medical errors at the point of care.

Objectives

To establish clinical decision support framework that can be utilized for detecting and preventing adverse drug events (ADEs) [1].

Methods

According to the authors, the novelty of framework is that they established or created approaches and methods to access and track historical problems related to medical errors. For example[1]:

  • beginning with medical knowledge discovery and further accumulating reliable numbers of ADEs for each hospital or medical unit.
  • describing their medical outcomes and possible causes.
  • utilizing the data, information, and knowledge acquired from above to develop and implement clinical decision support system.

Features of the framework

  • The environment of implementation so called the context of care.
  • Intuitive and straightforward integration in the health information technology (HIT) infrastructure, based on a service-orientated architecture (SOA) and related standards.
