What Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) look like, how they work, what constraints they have and what contribution they can make to improving doctors’ decision-making: all you need to know.
CDSS
A predictive model, made in Italy, to calculate the risk of in-hospital mortality for Covid-19
A group of Italian researchers has developed a web app that is available free of charge. The results have been published in the journal Plos One.
CDSS to predict the course of patients during Covid-19
Two American studies reveal the effectiveness of these systems in determining the risk of complications and helping doctors plan treatments.
A CDSS that predicts the complications of Covid-19
The FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that provides when an adult patient hospitalized with COVID-19 is at risk of further complications.
How to manage the pharmacological risk in the elderly
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are common in the elderly and manifest themselves with falls, orthostatic hypotension, delirium, renal failure, gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeding. In the latest issue of the journal Pro Terza Età di ANASTE an article of mine has been published that illustrates how to manage this serious risk.
Casual machine learning makes medical diagnoses more accurate
Babylon Health has published in the journal Nature an interesting study on improving the accuracy of medical diagnoses through casual machine learning.
Can CDSS really reduce medical errors? The first Italian study published on JAMA
An Italian large randomized controlled trial published in JAMA Network Open found that clinical decision support systems (CDSS) do reduce potential prescription and diagnostic errors. Continue reading
Health Benefit Analyses for equity of care: an interesting experience in Finland
Equality for everyone in medical care, which is the basis of the National Health System, does not mean equity in the use of available resources. Starting from this reasoning a group of international researchers and Finnish doctors are experimenting with a system of analysis of health benefits. Continue reading
The importance of Medication Decision Support System in reconciling therapy
Medication review, especially in patients who take a large number of drugs, can be very complex, like a Rubik’s cube with many elements. Medication Decision Support Systems can help clinicians solve the 3D puzzle of complex therapies.
Why it is worthwhile to invest in CDSS: the pharmacological risk
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a serious public health issue, being a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) can reduce this phenomenon and the associated costs. Continue reading
