DDS
is “a computer-based system that gathers data from a variety of sources
and assists in providing structure to the data by using various
analytical models and visual tools in order to facilitate and improve
the ultimate outcome in decision-making tasks associated with nonroutine
and nonrepetitive problems,” (AHIMA 2014, 45). It is a system that
supports decision making for patients and providers. It can assist with
patient care and safety and eliminate provider bias of care. Provider
bias can decrease by sending the information to the patient as well as
provider for alerts, based on the EHR and clinical protocols. The DDS
can promote decision making and detection of at risk diagnosis based on
age, gender, and flags in the EHR. This can assist clinically and
administratively by in the EHR; send alerts and reports to improve and
inform administration to the effectiveness and efficiency of their
facility. There are positive and negatives to any type of system,
however it is important it is used in conjunction with proper clinical
and administrative thought processes and utilizing the correct evidence
and information.

Hello class,
A
decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based system that gathers
data from a variety of sources and assists in providing structure to
that data using various analytical models and visual tools to facilitate
and improve the ultimate outcome in decision-making tasks associated
with nonroutine and nonrepetitive problems (Sue, 2017). One way this
system is used is in a clinical setting or what\u2019s known as a clinical
decision support system (CDSS). This is beneficial to both patient and
provider by providing alerts in a EHR that will reflect items such as
medication allergies, important reminders, and other valuable
information.
Although
CDSSs can be highly beneficial it has its limitations as well, one of
them being lack of access to such a program. Not all patients will have
access to tablets, cell phones, computers, etc. and that leaves a large
gap in patients who can become engaged with CDSSs. However, one concern
that can be alleviated when it comes to CDSSs is provider bias. An
example of that is if a provider deems a patient as noncompliant due to
age, sex, race, etc. which could lead to medications and treatments
being withheld from them. With CDSSs and a system wide EHR, a patients
compliance can be objectively determined rather than subjectively.
