Strategy for implementation and first results of advanced clinical decision support in hospital pharmacy practice.
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are the new generation clinical support tools that 'make it easy to do it right'. Despite promising results, these systems are not common practice, although experts agree that the necessary revolution in health care will depend on its implementation. To accelerate adoption a strategy is handed for structured development and validation of CDSS' content (clinical rules). The first results show that the proposed strategy is easily applicable for creating specific and reliable rules, generating relevant recommendations.
