Computer decision support systems are computer
applications designed to aid clinicians in making
diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in patient
care.
They can simplify access to data needed to make
decisions, provide reminders and prompts at the
time of a patient encounter, assist in establishing
a diagnosis and in entering appropriate orders,
and alert clinicians when new patterns in patient
data are recognized.
