Role of Clinical Decision Support Systems in Improving Clinical Practice

Abstract

This paper examines the role of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) as a critical and increasingly prevalent tool in improving clinical practice. Using findings from previously published reference papers, books and other related studies, the paper demonstrates how clinical decision support systems are repeatedly being used in clinical practice to enhance quality of care, improve safety, reduce healthcare costs and heighten efficiency. Although findings from the reference papers, books and studies vary in how clinical decision support systems can advance clinical practice, they strongly identify improvements made in clinical practice as they relate to patient safety, medication errors, clinical workflows and processes, diagnostic processes, compliance with regulatory guidelines, disease management, patient outcomes, genomic and personalized medicine and cost of care.

“…It analyzes and matches the patient data with clinical database and generates a special treat ment plan and thus gives clinician a way to imp rove the patient health and attain preferable outcomes. On the other hand, CDSS improves the clin ical practices by cutting down the cost of care by using, for example , reminder system to avoid test repetition or avoid the drug-drug-interaction that may lead to extra treatment to handle the caused problems [17].…”
