Microsystems by this definition include patients, clinicians, processes and recurring patterns and are described as complex adaptive systems.

Having developed an initial formulation, the student will then discuss the patient with an expert clinician, a process that, in an Emergency Dept, typically takes less than 5 minutes with only 1-2 minutes being actual teaching of the student [ 6, 7].
Effective patient care in the intensive care unit (ICU) depends on the ability of clinicians to process large amounts of clinical and laboratory data.
Systematic reviews have found that an effective CDSS must minimize the effort required by clinicians to process complex tasks [ 8].
Research has suggested that it is in the on-scene phase of an ambulance mission that imposes the greatest demands on the prehospital clinicians JDM process.
Here we report on the development and pilot testing of an online, clinical case regarding prostate cancer screening to teach primary care clinicians the process of SDM with their patients and skills to integrate it into their practice style.
