Abstract

After reading this chapter, you should know the answers to these questions: What are three requirements for an excellent decision-making system?
What are three decision-support roles for computers in clinical medicine?
How has the use of computers for clinical decision support evolved since the1960s?What is a knowledge-based system?
What influences account for the gradual improvement in professional attitudes toward use of computers for clinical decision support?
What are the five dimensions that characterize clinical decision-support tools?What are clinical-practice guidelines, and what are the challenges in providing guideline-based decision support?
What are the principal scientific challenges in building useful and acceptable clinical decision-support tools?
What legal and regulatory barriers could affect distribution of clinical decisionsupport technologies?
