What Types of Decision Support Tools are Used in Pediatrics?
Several types of decision support tools are used in pediatric care, including:
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These systems provide real-time analysis and recommendations based on patient data and clinical guidelines. Electronic Health Records (EHR): Integrated CDS modules within EHRs can alert providers to potential issues such as drug interactions or abnormal lab results. Mobile Apps: Various mobile applications are designed to help pediatricians with dosage calculations, growth charts, and symptom checkers. Telemedicine Platforms: These platforms often include decision support features to assist in remote diagnosis and treatment planning.
