Computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSSs)
are information systems designed to improve clinical
decision-making [4]. They may make use of a spreadsheet,
graphical tools, and artificial intelligence to present data. In
general, CDSSs are especially helpful when the clinical data
and rules are highly complex and on a large scale [5]. Historically,
much of the development of expert systems occurred in
the 1970s [6,7]. Literature on the effects of health information
technology (HIT) revealed that implementing an electronic
health record (EHR) system with a CDSS could increase the
delivery of care that would adhere to guidelines and protocols,
enhance the capacity of care delivery, reduce rates of
medication errors, and decrease utilization of care [8].
