Unit 4 DB: Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS)

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 300-500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Studies have shown that CDSSes reduce medication errors, increase physician and patient satisfaction, decrease cost, and even decrease the rate of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections. However, recent studies have shown that widespread use of CDSSes is limited.

Discuss the following:

• What kind of items should be taken into consideration prior to implementing a CDSS?
• How would you measure the success of the implementation?

Note: Use APA 7th Edition and 2 scholarly references within the last 5yrs.
