Electronic health records are well-positioned to have an impact on care. However, a robust approach to improvement requires more than information technology. There are many kinds of decision support and clinical decision support has the potential to improve care.
This course takes the learner through the current applications of CDS, the challenges in knowledge engineering and interface development, and the role of the government and research in overcoming obstacles to effective use of CDS.
