Clinical Decision Support and Beyond: Optimizing Healthcare with Knowledge-Enhanced Systems

Written by renowned author Robert Greenes, “Clinical Decision Support and Beyond: Progress and Opportunities in Knowledge-Enhanced Health and Healthcare” has now entered its third edition, offering a comprehensive guide to developing effective, reliable, and user-friendly clinical decision support systems (CDSS) at the point of care.

The integration of CDSS into electronic health record (EHR) systems has been ongoing for decades, but its potential has been hindered by complexities, costs, and user resistance. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the process in detail to unlock its full capabilities. This book provides an in-depth exploration of CDSS, updating and expanding on the previous edition with discussions on:

• Seamless integration of CDSS into clinical workflow
• Context-driven anticipation of needs for CDSS
• New forms of CDSS derived from data analytics, precision medicine, and population health
• Integration of personal monitoring and patient-facing CDSS
• Population health management, public health CDSS, and reducing health disparities with CDSS

This valuable resource is designed for clinicians, practitioners, students, and members of medical and biomedical fields seeking to leverage the potential of clinical decision support to improve health and wellness, as well as the quality of healthcare.

The book presents an overview of the current state-of-the-art CDSS, detailing how to harness these capabilities to enhance health and healthcare. It also delves into the technological underpinnings for developing, managing, and sharing knowledge resources, deploying them as CDSS or for other uses.

With the current drivers and opportunities expanding the prospects for knowledge-enhanced health and healthcare, this book is a must-read for those committed to optimizing healthcare systems and improving patient outcomes.
