[Computer-assisted clinical decision support systems].
This review deals with the historical evolution and methodological basis of computerized medical decision support tools. It also reviews the verification, validation and impact evaluation methods of these systems. The acceptability of them from the health professionals depends on the pro-activity and usefulness of the systems, between other factors. The clinical impact evaluation methods are described in deep detail and the Hunt et al review of 1998 is updated.
