Abstract
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) signify the framework shift in the medical sector in the modern age. CDSSs are utilized in augmenting healthcare facilities in the process of making complex clinical decisions. Since the first application of CDSSs in the 80s, the framework has witnessed significant transformation. The frameworks are now administered through electronic healthcare records with complex capacities. Irrespective of these complex advancements, there are existing questions concerning the impacts of CDSSs on service providers, healthcare costs, and patients’ records. There are many published texts concerning the success stories of CDSSs, but significant setbacks have proved that CDSSs are not without any potential risks. In this research, we provide critical analysis on the application of CDSSs in clinical setting, integrating various forms, present application cases with proven effectiveness, potential harms and common pitfalls. We therefore conclude with evidence-centered recommendation for mitigating the issues of CDSSs maintainability, evaluation, implementation and designing.

A conventional Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) consists of application established to be an immediate assistance to clinical decision production whereby the independent patients’ characteristics are paired to an automated clinical level of knowledge, and patient-specific guidelines or evaluations presented to physicians for the decision-making process
Most of the CDSSs application provides a basis of proof behind them, mostly those oriented to Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
