The use of mobile decision support systems in clinical practice is becoming more prevalent.
Thus, it is necessary to imbue the mobile decision support process with effective governance, accountability, and robustness.
In this paper, we design and evaluate an innovative mobile decision support system (MDSS) solution for rural citizens healthcare decision support and information dissemination.
This is extremely important in mobile decision support use by clinicians and in increasing confidence in the use of such systems.
This modified algorithm was then implemented in a mobile decision support system for basal bolus insulin dosing, the GlucoTab® system (Joanneum Research GmbH [Graz, Austria] and Medical University of Graz [Graz, Austria]), which was subsequently customized and tested in a clinical study with 30 patients.
The paper describes the functional role of a mobile, decision supporting device in the clinical workflow.
The MobiGuide project aimed to establish a ubiquitous, user-friendly, patient-centered mobile decision-support system for patients and for their care providers, based on the continuous application of clinical guidelines and on semantically integrated electronic health records.
A rule-based mobile clinical decision support system, Mobile Emergency Triage-Abdominal Pain (MET-AP), has been developed to recommend an appropriate triage plan (discharge, consult surgery or observe/investigate) early in the ED visit, with the goal of promoting ED efficiencies and improved patient outcomes.
Accordingly the work, reported here, proposes, analyses, and assesses a formal representation and reasoning technique for mobile medical decision support systems that handles the separate and cross-cutting concerns of the systems by using a formal calculus of first order logic.
A set of 51 papers were selected for the presentation during the main event and grouped around conference topics: Business Process Management, Web Services, Ontologies, Information Retrieval, System Design, Agents and Mobile Applications, Decision Support, Social Issues, Specific MIS Issues.
Two particular areas, digital health-enhanced referral coordination and mobile clinical decision support systems, demonstrate considerable potential to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of care received by patients, but they require a greater level of standardization and an expanded scope of health worker engagement across the health system in order to scale them up effectively.
