Evaluating AI-Supported CDS Systems with Real-World Evidence
2022 30 Mar
A new analysis from the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy details the data elements that real-world data (RWD) sources need when evaluating the performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported clinical decision support (CDS) tools. Non-standardised electronic health record (EHR) systems and continually changing clinical workflows are... Read more
CDS Improves Cardiovascular Health in Patients with Mental Health Disorders
2022 30 Mar
In a study appearing in JAMA Network Open , researchers found that primary care clinicians can significantly lower cardiovascular risk for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) when using a clinical decision support (CDS) system. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for those with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and... Read more
Clinical Decision Support Improve Pneumonia Outcomes
2022 21 Mar
A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that using a clinical decision support (CDS) tool can improve patient care and lower the mortality risk for pneumonia patients receiving emergency department (ED) care. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, pneumonia was a leading cause of death from infectious... Read more

ED Decision Support for Discharging Suspected COVID-19 Patients
2022 11 Feb
University of Minnesota Medical School researchers recently evaluated the performance of a prognostic clinical decision-making tool to facilitate emergency department discharges of suspected COVID-19 patients. The University of Minnesota developed this logistic regression tool to alleviate some of the stress that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on... Read more
Lung Cancer Care Empowered by AI - Meet the Team behind
2022 27 Jan
Facilitating decisions using vast amounts of comparative data – AI can do this, but creating the algorithms is a complex and lengthy process. Yet it can make a difference, especially in lung cancer care. The lack of early symptoms and the aggressive progression of lung cancer make it one of the deadliest types of cancer.[1] Individually adapted... Read more
European Physicians Don’t Trust CDSS for Elderly Fall Risk Management
2022 25 Jan
It is important to minimise fall risks for the elderly since these can result in severe injury. Since many cardiovascular and psychotropic medications commonly used by the elderly carry fall risks, a full review of prescribed medications should be conducted for elderly patients to assess fall risk. A Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) integrated... Read more
Human Factors Engineering Improves CDS Usability for Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis
2021 29 Dec
According to a recent study published in the International Journal of Medical Informatics , poor usability continues to plague clinical decision support (CDS) despite its potential to improve patient safety. Although human factors engineering (HFE) approaches are recommended, few studies have investigated the impact of applying HFE methods and principles... Read more
