چکیده
The number of clinical applications usedin the medical field to reinforce and support physiciansin the applicationof their medical knowledge keeps growing tremendously. But some of the problems that occur at the same time are the efficiency of those applications and the ability of the practitioners to make the right choices regarding the feedback they received from their utilization. Clinical Decision Support Systems(CDSS), also called Medical Decision Support Systems(MDSS), belong to the wide category of those clinical applications. They must be used only for secondary care purpose, and if not, the risks of malpractice due to CDSS medical based diagnoses are greater. The main concern here is the reliability of CDSS which use is supported by both hardware and software components. The reliability of CDSS can be improved by integrating fault-tolerance and redundancy in their design features so as to increase their efficiency and reduce medical errors. This helps to prevent or reduce the number of accidental cases due to malpractice and also, to mitigate potential health care risks.
