What is Clinical Decision Support? Clinical Decision Support (CDS) is a process for enhancing health-related decisions and actions. It empowers clinicians, patients, and other stakeholders by enhancing clinical decision-making and clinical processes and improving the quality of health care services and patient outcomes.
Among it's activities, the CDS-WG holds monthly online meetings, which all AMIA members are invited to attend. Student and prospective members are welcome.
The Clinical Decision Support Working Group (CDS WG) mission is to serve as a collaboration and discussion hub for those with interests in clinical decision support and to share ideas and experiences with the AMIA Community.
