Abstract

Clinical decision support (CDS) presents knowledge and person-specific information to enhance decision-making, including patient data reports, diagnostic support, and guidelines, in the clinical workflow. The emergence of CDS improves the safety, quality, and effectiveness in health IT. CDS combines knowledge and data to filter, organize, and present clinical data. Healthcare IT integrates CDS applications as components of comprehensive EHR systems, though standalone CDS systems are available. It uses the hidden insights of big data to sift a huge amount of health information to diagnose and provide alerts on dangerous medication interactions. A study by JAMA Internal Medicine found that in 2016, clinical centers received around 76.9 notifications daily, including lab results and pharmacies adding CDS alerts.
