Clinical Decision Support System provides assistance to the clinician in implementing treatment plans of individual patients based on specific variables and evidence. This means the system after takes into account the uniqueness of each case and then captures the coded information. Post this, the decision support system will provide real time recommendations for further course of action. Based on the data entered, it also helps in managing care plan by providing timely alerts to carry out particular diagnostic procedure. In short, it helps in planning, implementing and assessing patient care services in a healthcare facility. The need of such a system arises from the fact that even though one may ensure high level of precision in care services, there is always a chance of committing a mistake that we refer to as 'human error'. This includes comprehending the written material incorrectly or administering wrong drugs resulting in allergies or even repeating procedures already conducted resulting in wastage of time and resources. The system promptly alerts the clinician if it detects any inconsistencies or diversion from the pre-defined treatment plan. It helps in improving the quality of patient care and makes the whole process more streamlined, concerted and efficient. One of the impacts of clinical decision system can be seen when a patient visits a hospital for some ailment that he/she may have been treated before. Now, there are two scenarios- one, the patient visits the same doctor that treated him/her previously and then second when another official who might not be aware of the patient's medical history is in charge. Using this system, the concerned doctor in the latter case will be able to get information regarding to the medical history of the patient and the treatment offered so far and thus proceed accordingly. The literature available on the effectiveness of the installation of such health information management system point to mixed results. The results in reducing errors have been positive while the potential to avoid drug reactions has been a mixed bag. The reasons vary but almost all of them point towards the inconsistencies arising from external factors that result in such findings. However, since these systems affect the decision making process, a careful examination of its impacts is recommended.
