Title | Effects of Computerized Clinical Decision Support Systems on Practitioner Performance and Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review. |
Description | The developers of health care software have attributed improvements in patient care to these applications. As with any health care intervention, such claims require confirmation in clinical trials. The objectives of this study were to review controlled trials assessing the effects of computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and to identify study characteristics predicting benefit. It concludes that many CDSSs improve practitioner performance. To date, the effects on patient outcomes remain understudied and, when studied, inconsistent. |
