Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Clinical decision support system is an interactive decision support system Computer Software, which is designed to assist physicians and other health professionals with decision making tasks, as determining diagnosis of patient data. A working definition has been proposed by Dr. Robert Hayward of the Centre for Health Evidence; "Clinical Decision Support systems link health observations with health knowledge to influence health choices by clinicians for improved health care". This definition has the advantage of simplifying Clinical Decision Support to a functional concept. A clinical decision support system has been coined as an "active knowledge systems, which use two or more items of patient data to generate case-specific advice." This implies that a CDSS is simply a DSS that is focused on using knowledge management in such a way to achieve clinical advice for patient care based on some number of items of patient data.
