ABSTRACT

MDSSs (medical decision support systems) are computer applications providing clinicians with suitable information about a patient’s clinical situation, as well as knowledge relevant to the situation, appropriately filtered and presented, to improve the quality of care and the patients’ health. As is the case with any intervention aiming at influencing medical practices and their impact on the patients’ health, it seems appropriate to question their real value through a methodology for reliable evaluation. Evaluation methods are necessarily dependent on the questions raised and it is common for different questions to lead to different methodologies and different processes of data collection and analysis. In the light of this, better consideration and better implementation of the evaluation processes of these systems are major criteria on which their future depends.

KEYWORDS

DSSs (decision support systems), clinical, health care quality, evaluation.
