This book is designed to be primarily a resource book on clinical decision support systems for informatics specialists. Secondly, it is a textbook for teachers or students in health informatics. Finally, it offers a comprehensive introduction for clinicians, whether or not expert in the application of computers in medicine, who wish to learn about current developments in computer-based diagnostic systems. In addition, the book takes a novel look at CDS systems from the point of both the practitioner as well as the patient. In recent years, it has become obvious that, in addition to physicians, other health professionals have need of decision support. Therefore, the issues raised in this book apply to a broad range of clinicians. Building on the success of the 1998 edition this book once again brings together worldwide experts to illustrate the underlying science and day-to-day use of decision support systems in clinical and educational settings.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The author has three objectives: to provide a technical resource about CDSS for information specialists; a textbook for students in medical informatics programs, and a resource for clinicians interested in CDSS. ... the citations are very helpful and serve almost as a recommended reading list for the topic. This book is especially well suited for students in health informatics who are interested in designing and developing clinical decision support systems. It provides an excellent overview with suitable references for continued learning." (Keri L. Christensen, Doody's Review Service, November, 2007)
