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
