Integrating Clinical Decision Support into Every Day Care

Clinical Decision Support can help make the Electronic Health Record work to guide every day clinical care and go beyond the every day alerts that often frustrate providers when caring for their patients. Clinical Decision Support can be integrated in a variety of ways into standard clinical care without adding a burden to care providers and put help to decision making in front of providers at key times that can relate to the patients in front of them.
