Unpacking the Evaluation Proceeding of Clinical Decision Support Systems: A review of methodological approaches and categories

Abstract

Medical personnel must utilize Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to enhance clinical decision-making, minimize mistakes, and improve patient outcomes. Accurately evaluating the performance of CDSS is essential to avouch their effectiveness and efficiency. We have reviewed the literature to provide insights into evaluating CDSS, along with the criteria that need to be assessed, such as accuracy, usability, and efficiency. Researchers are instructed to pick an acceptable technique depending on their research aims and the situation in which they will analyze Clinical decision support systems after considering potential obstacles and constraints within the procedure. By conducting these types of research projects, we will be able to improve the quality of the decision-support systems and enhance their utility in clinical practice. This article provides valuable intuition for researchers, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers seeking to evaluate the performance of CDSS in healthcare settings.
