Abstract

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can impact clinical care through improved care processes and improved patient outcomes. For the generalist, CDSS play a key role in the optimal management of both acute and chronic conditions, as well as prevention and screening. Understanding of automation bias and alert fatigue as well as robust institutional CDS governance is essential to successful delivery and maintenance of decision support. With the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, AI-enabled CDSS offer exciting opportunities to personalized, high quality decision support, innovation, collaboration, and education surrounding CDSS will help ensure improved experiences for both clinicians and patients.
