Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
The purpose of clinical decision support tools and systems is to provide accurate, timely information to the clinical team and patient to help inform about a patient’s care. Clinical decision support can potentially lower costs, improve patient outcomes and efficiency, and reduce patient inconvenience.
