Decision support systems in diabetes: a systems perspective.
This paper examines, from a systems perspective, some of the major issues associated with the provision of computer-based decision support in the management of the diabetic patient. The importance of understanding the underlying dynamics is emphasised, as is the value of a systems approach to the specification, design and evaluation of decision support systems if they are to find clinical acceptance.
