Decision Support Systems

Decision Support System (DSS) Decision Support System (DSS) is an organization's management information system that supports semistructured and unstructured decisions by combining data, analytical tools, and models. DSS can handle small or large databases optimized for data analysis. DSS has more powerful features than other systems. They explicitly build models for analyzing data and compress large amounts of data into formats that decision makers can analyze.

The Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is an application that analyzes data to help healthcare providers make decisions and improve patient care. This is usually a variant of the Decision Support System (DSS) used to support business management. CDSS is focused on the use of knowledge management to obtain clinical recommendations based on various factors related to patient related data. The clinical decision support system supports integrated workflow, provides assistance during care and provides care plan recommendations

The clinical decision support system is defined as "an active knowledge system that uses two or more patient data to generate case-specific recommendations." In other words, CDSS is just a decision support system focused on implementing clinical recommendations on patient care based on multiple patient data using knowledge management. In the early days, CDSS was thought to be used to make clinician's decisions. The clinician enters the information, waits for the CDSS output to be "correct", and the clinician simply operates its output. However, the use of modern methods with CDSS means that clinicians do better patient data analysis than human or CDSS using their own knowledge and CDSS to interact with the CDSS .

This is because the clinical decision support system is a decision support system designed so that clinicians can support decision-making tasks. The architecture design of the decision support system always consists of two main subsystems, human decision makers and computer systems. Constructing a decision support system with only computer hardware and software programs can be based on several nonstructural or semi-structured decisions that can not be programmed by the system (these decisions are determined by a mathematical model or collection of expressions It can not be done), so it is not a correct concept. That is exactly the human thought, which is elusive and complicated. Decision support systems do not have such individual components. As a separate component of the decision support system, we always demand that manual decision makers integrate with computer systems. The role of decision makers is not to build a database of decision support systems.
