Clinical Decision Support

Health information technology systems designed to assist healthcare providers in making clinical decisions.

Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems are health information technology systems designed to assist healthcare providers in making clinical decisions by providing evidence-based recommendations, alerts, and information at the point of care. CDS systems can help prevent medication errors, improve adherence to clinical guidelines, reduce costs, and enhance patient outcomes. These systems integrate with EHRs and provide real-time alerts for drug interactions, allergies, dosage issues, and clinical best practices.
