Clinical decision support as nationwide service
Case study
Clinical decision support system EBMEDS delivers clinical reminders based on an analysis of patient data.
Evidence-basedClinical decision support system EBMEDS
The Evidence-Based Medicine Electronic Decision Support (EBMEDS) brings evidence into practice using context-sensitive guidance at the point of care.
Clinical decision support system combines patient data reports (drugs, diagnosis, laboratory investigations, risk factors, previous procedures) with current and curated medical knowledge. A decision support system presents patient-specific instructions.
The clinical decision support system links medical guidelines via reminder notices, automatically created from the diagnoses or problems coded in electronic health records (EHR). EBMEDS provides reminders based on EBM Guidelines and the Evidence Summaries (particularly those summarizing the results of Cochrane Reviews).
Medical Device Regulation
