title: Improving management of chronic diseases with documentation-based clinical decision support: results of a pilot study.
abstract: Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have the potential to improve patient care. We developed the Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus (CAD/DM) Smart Form as a documentation-based application that provides decision support for the management of chronic diseases. Results of a pilot study suggest that the CAD/DM Smart Form has the potential to improve patient care.
