Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are computer-based tools designed to assist healthcare providers in making informed clinical decisions. They analyze patient data and provide evidence-based recommendations, alerts, or reminders to enhance patient care. By integrating with electronic health records, CDSS can help identify potential issues, such as drug interactions or allergies, improving patient safety and treatment outcomes. These systems utilize algorithms and clinical guidelines to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management. CDSS can also facilitate adherence to best practices and reduce variability in care, ultimately leading to more consistent and effective healthcare delivery.
