Clinical decision support (CDS) is a branch of health informatics that focuses on developing systems and tools to assist healthcare professionals in making decisions regarding patient care. These systems provide evidence-based guidelines, recommendations, and alerts to help clinicians in diagnosing and treating patients. CDS aims to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care by providing relevant information and resources at the point of care. This research area explores ways to integrate CDS systems into electronic health records, clinical workflows, and other healthcare technologies to support decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
