Bayesian approaches to police decision support offer an improvement upon more commonly used statistical approaches.
Systems with decision support offer the ability to prevent physicians prescribing either a known allergenic drug or a toxic drug dose [ 3].
The utilisation of new technologies such as computerised decision support tools offer an opportunity to provide generalists with additional support that goes beyond referencing a guideline.
Clinical decision support (CDS) offers a potential solution, but interventions have failed because they were not designed to support the physician workflow.
As we have shown elsewhere, 22 our study lends additional support to the notion that health literacy potentially mediates the role of race in end of life decision making, and video decision support tools offer an approach to circumvent this disparity.
Infobuttons are decision support tools that offer links to information resources based on the context of the interaction between a clinician and an electronic medical record (EMR) system.
The integration of MultiCriteria Decision Analysis approaches (MCDA) in a Geographical Information System (GIS) provides a powerful spatial decision support system which offers the opportunity to efficiently produce these land suitability maps.
We are currently making progress in integrating Genomic CDS and OWL reasoning into a clinical decision support application, which offers clinical recommendations based on patient data.
Data from retrospective and simulated studies seem to indicate that shared decision-making, and the use of good quality decision support interventions, could offer some level of medico-legal protection.
Kuperman et al. distinguish between basic (e.g. offers drug-drug interaction checks) and advanced decision support (e.g. offers drug-disease contraindication checking) [ 13].
