A clinical decision support system (CDSS) is an interactive computer program that uses patient data to generate advice to help clinicians make decisions. A CDSS uses a dynamic knowledge base and rules derived from experts to make suggestions, which clinicians can then use along with their own expertise to determine diagnoses and treatments. CDSS systems are used at the point of care to assist clinicians before, during, and after making diagnoses. They work by taking in patient data, applying medical knowledge, and providing recommendations to aid clinical decision making.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. Decision & Decision Making
• Decision
“A choice that you make about something after thinking about it: the
result of deciding.” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
• Decision Making
The cognitive process resulting in the selection of a course of action
among several alternative scenarios.” (Wikipedia)
3. What is CDSS?
• Clinical decision support system/software (CDSS) are interactive
computer programs, which are designed to assist physicians and
other health professionals with decision making tasks. The basic
components of a CDSS include a dynamic (medical) knowledge base
and an inference mechanism (usually a set of rules derived from the
experts and evidence-based medicine) and implemented through
medical logic modules.
4. Characteristics
• A clinical decision support system use two or more items of patient
data to generate case-specific advice. CDSS is simply a decision
support system that is focused on using knowledge management in
such a way to achieve clinical advice for patient care based on some
number of items of patient data.
5. Types of CDSS
1. Knowledge based.
2. Non-knowledge based.
a. Artificial neural networks.
b. Genetic algorithms.
6. Purpose
• To assist clinicians at the point-of-care. This means that a clinician
would interact with a CDSS to help determine diagnosis, analysis, etc.
of patient data.
• The new methodology of using CDSS to assist forces the clinician to
interact with the CDSS utilizing both the clinician’s knowledge and the
CDSS to make a better analysis of the patients’ data than either
human or CDSS could make on their own.
• Typically the CDSS would make suggestions of outputs or a set of
outputs for the clinician to look through and the clinician officially
picks useful information and removes erroneous CDSS suggestions.
The doctor then takes the output of the CDSS and figures out which
diagnoses are relevant and which are not.
7. Contd..
• The doctor uses these systems at point-of-care to help them as they
are dealing with a patient, with the timing of use as either pre-
diagnoses, during diagnoses, or post diagnoses.
• Pre-diagnoses CDSS systems are used to help the physician prepare
the diagnoses. CDSS used during diagnoses are to help review and
filter the physician’s preliminary diagnostic choices to improve their
final results.
• Post-diagnoses CDSS systems are used to mine data to derive
connections between patients and their past medical history and
clinical research to predict future events
10. Example: Problem A
• Patient has a high blood pressure reading of 170/100 mmHg
• Data: 170/100
• Information: BP of Patient A = 170/100 mmHg
• Knowledge: Patient A has high blood pressure
• Decision (or Wisdom):
Patient A needs to be investigated for cause of HT
Patient A needs to be treated with anti hypertensive drug
Patient A needs to be referred to a cardiologist
11. Example: Problem B
• Patient B is allergic to penicillin. He was recently prescribed
amoxicillin for his sore throat
• Data: Penicillin, amoxicillin, sore throat
• Information:
Patient B has penicillin allergy
Patient B was prescribed amoxicillin for sore throat
• Knowledge: Patient B may/will have allergic reaction to his
prescription
• Decision (or Wisdom): Patient Should not take amoxicillin!!
13. Advantages
• International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10) codes are incorporated and
updated constantly to avoid nomenclature disparities which helps in data
mining and to monitor standards across health care delivery sites.
• The program is tailored to be used by health workers with minimum or no
computer expertise
• It is flexible enough to be adapted to suit the needs of different levels of
practitioners- from general practitioners to specialist.
• The differential diagnosis module is capable of generating all probable
differential diagnoses from signs and symptoms of the patient. It includes
both common and uncommon probabilities in clinical diagnosis.
14. Contd..
• The system helps physicians to avoid overlooking uncommon
conditions and provide decision support in difficult cases.
• E-Clinician is tailor made fundamentally focusing on Physicians who
provide clinical services in rural, semi-urban and even urban areas of
developing countries.
• E-Clinician is an aid to medical practitioners as it is simple to use, add
value to practice and provide immediate access to the most relevant
medical knowledge at the point of care.
15. Disadvantages
• Often these systems are stand-alone applications, requiring the
clinician to cease working on their current report system, switch to
the CDSS, input the necessary data, and receive the information.
These additional steps break the flow from the clinician’s perspective,
and cost precious time. Of additional irritation is that the data the
clinician may need to enter is already contained elsewhere in a digital
form in that hospital’s system, and some CDSSs are not equipped to
automatically pull this relevant information.
16. Contd..
• Clinical decision support systems face steep technical challenges in a
number of areas. Biological systems are profoundly complicated, and
a clinical decision may utilize an enormous range of potentially
relevant data. For example, an electronic evidence-based medicine
system may potentially consider a patient’s symptoms, medical
history, family history and genetics, as well as historical and
geographical trends of disease occurrence, and published clinical data
on medicinal effectiveness when recommending a patient’s course of
treatment. Furthermore, new data is constantly being published
which must be integrated into the system in order to maintain its
relevance.
