Summary

Objectives

To summarize current outstanding research in the field of decision support.

Methods

A selection of excellent research articles published in 2010 in the field of computerized clinical decision support systems.

Results and Conclusions

This selection of articles shows that deci- sion support systems (DSS) are getting better integrated into the electronic health record systems (EHR) and into the clinician’s workflow. As a result, there is a better collaboration between physicians and DSS, which improves the care of patients.

Keywords

Decision support systems - collaboration - electronic health record - medical data - integration - ubiquitous
