Do Clinical Decision Support Systems Lead to Quality Improvement? (Part 4)

Before going back to the story of Oleg and Sama, I want to quickly discuss the effect of clinical decision support systems on patient care.
Open clinical, a knowledge management website, shown below, highlights a few research articles which investigate the use of clinical decision support systems and their effect on quality across various dimensions including diagnostic decision making, disease management, etc.  If you click on the picture, you can access these articles.


 After going through the literature, make up your own mind about the overall effect of CDSS on quality.
When you do, let me know what you decided.

Up next, the story of Oleg and Sama
