Clinical Decision Support -- CDS

Overview

Clinical Decision Support (CDS) refers broadly to providing clinicians or patients with clinical knowledge and patient-related information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance patient care. Clinical knowledge of interest could range from simple facts and relationships to best practices for managing patients with specific disease states, new medical knowledge from clinical research and other types of information.

For an overview of the process that healthcare organizations can use to begin, or improve, a clinical decision support (CDS) initiative interested parties can follow the guidelines described in Improving Outcomes with Clinical Decision Suppport: An Implementer's Guide to measurably improve key healthcare outcomes such as the quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of care delivery.
