Abstract

Summary

Objectives: To summarize significant research contributions published in 2021 in the field of clinical decision support (CDS) systems and select the best papers for the Decision Support section of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook.

Methods: The authors searched the MEDLINE® database for papers focused on clinical decision support (CDS) systems. From search results, section editors established a list of candidate best papers, which were then peer-reviewed by at least three external reviewers. The IMIA Yearbook editorial committee selected the best papers on the basis of all reviews including the section editors’ evaluation.

Results: A total of 337 articles were retrieved from which 13 candidate papers were identified. Finally, from the candidate papers, the top three papers were selected. The first paper introduces an innovative evaluation approach to CDS systems, the second compares six health institutions on how they are measuring CDS alert fatigue and the last one adds new evidence on how CDS can help to reduce unnecessary interventions.
