Abstract

The informatics literature variously defines Computerized Decision Support (CDS) systems. These definitions are sometimes narrow and sometime broad, leading to occasional confusion in terminology. For purposes of this paper, a broad definition that enjoys some professional consensus has been adapted from Langston and colleagues: CDS systems encompass any computer software employing a knowledge base (facts and/or rules) designed for use by a clinician involved in patient care, as a direct aid to clinical decision-making.

Human-computer interactions: can computers improve the way doctors work?

As medicine becomes more complex and the knowledge base expands, the integration of computer systems into clinical practice would appear to be an inescapable necessity rather than an option. The issues of security and reliability have largely been solved by industrial and business applications of computer technology. The larger challenge lies in designing convenient, efficient and acceptable interfaces between the clinician and computer for data input and presentation. In the future, decision making algorithms are likely to assist the clinician in diagnosis and management to a degree that should significantly improve clinical effectiveness.

The intersection of health informatics and evidence-based medicine: computer-based systems to assist clinicians.

Evidence-based medicine and health informatics may assist clinicians contend with the current barriers to the integration of evidence-based "best practice" into typical healthcare settings. Computer-based decision support systems can improve the process of care, but whether they improve patient outcomes in a cost-effective manner is uncertain.
