Abstract Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) that make use of algorithms based on intelligent systems, such as machine learning or deep learning, they suffer from the fact often methods used are hard to interpret and difficult understand how some decisions made; opacity methods, sometimes voluntary due problems data privacy techniques protect intellectual property, makes these very complic...

BACKGROUND The adequacy of thromboprophylaxis prescriptions in acutely ill hospitalized medical patients needs improvement. OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess the efficacy of thromboprophylaxis adequacy of various clinical decision support systems (CDSS) with the aim of increasing the use of explicit criteria for thromboprophylaxis prescription in nine Swiss medical services. METHODS We rand...

Coeliac disease (CD) is a permanent inflammatory of the small intestine characterized by destruction mucous membrane this intestinal tract. represents most frequent food intolerance and affects about 1% population, but it severely underdiagnosed. Currently available guidelines require CD-specific serology atrophic histology in duodenal biopsy samples to diagnose CD adults. In paediatric CD, rec...

BACKGROUND Despite strong efforts to improve maternal care, its quality remains deficient in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa as persistently high maternal mortality rates testify. The QUALMAT study seeks to improve the performance and motivation of rural health workers and ultimately quality of primary maternal health care services in three African countries Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Tanzan...

This article presents several examples of how clinical decision support systems (CDSS) connected to knowledge bases help physicians and improves patient’s care. Results of a research in progress are presented, where the development of a data warehouse aims to get accurate assessments of a highly impairing mental condition. We argue that a data warehouse connected to a CDSS in the office of pedi...

A clinical decision support system (CDSS) and its components can malfunction due to various reasons. Monitoring the system and detecting its malfunctions can help one to avoid any potential mistakes and associated costs. In this paper, we investigate the problem of detecting changes in the CDSS operation, in particular its monitoring and alerting subsystem, by monitoring its rule firing counts....

Telemedicine is modern technology that is employed to provide low cost, high standard medical facilities to the people of remote areas. Store-and-Forward method of telemedicine suits more to the progressive countries like Pakistan as not only is it easy to set up but it also has a very cheap operating cost. However, the high response time taken by store & forward telemedicine becomes a critical...

Research on decision support systems (DSS)/executive information systems (EIS) has been primarily concerned with the behavioral aspect of managerial work and has largely ignored the cognitive aspect of decision support. Rather than focusing on the manager’s information need on ‘‘critical success factors’’ and the need for supporting specific decision making, this research emphasizes the need to...
