Conduct an Internet search for clinical decision support (CDS) systems. Browse several of the hits, and make a list of the areas in which technology is available for the clinical decision-making process. In addition, select a vendor who offers a demonstration of their clinical decision-making product. Write a report summarizing your findings and discuss the following questions:

• What areas seem to be most commonly associated with CDS systems?
• The textbook notes that CDS systems should be accurate, adaptive, unobtrusive, and usable as a normal part of clinical activity. Does the product you selected meet these criteria?
• Make a list of the types of information you would have needed to design a CDS system for these activities:
  • When teaching a patient, what would you include in the list with the details? Give at least 3 examples.
  • When giving medications, what would you include in the list of instructions (e.g., potential interactions)? Give at least 3 examples.
