Why CDS? 75% of decision support interventions succeed when the information is provided to clinicians automatically, whereas none succeed when clinicians are required to seek out the advice. Predictors of Success Automatic provision of decision support as part of workflow Provision of decision support at the time and location of decision making Provision of recommendation rather than just an assessment Adjusted OR Computer-based generation of decision support 6 112 15 7 Kawamoto K, Houlihan CA, Balas EA, Lobach DF.
