BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A rapid learning approach has been proposed to extract and apply knowledge from routine care data rather than solely relying on clinical trial evidence. To validate this in practice we deployed a previously developed decision support system (DSS) in a typical, busy clinic for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gender, age, performance stat...

BACKGROUND Pain management is a critical but complex issue for the relief of acute pain, particularly for postoperative pain and severe pain in cancer patients. It also plays important roles in promoting quality of care. The introduction of pain management decision support systems (PM-DSS) is considered a potential solution for addressing the complex problems encountered in pain management. Thi...

The potential suite of decision support system (DSS) applications deployed by organizations is dynamic and change with advances in computer technology. An understanding of DSS applications is important in planning organization strategy or creating a roadmap that encompasses these changes. This research effort examines the definition of DSS, the assimilation of information technology in organiza...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a special case of information systems with a capability to integrate spatial and descriptive data. As GIS enter into mainstream business applications, understanding how they are similar and different from more familiar information systems such as DSS can be usefil. An attempt is made to converge on a definition of GIS. The potential for many decisions to...

As massive distributed energy resources (DERs) are integrated into distribution networks (DNs) and the automation facilities widely deployed, DNs evolving to active (ADNs). This paper introduces architecture main function modules of an management system (IDMS) its applications in China. consists three subsystems, including real-time operation control (OCS), outage (OMS), operator training simul...
