Duodecim Clinical Decision Support
Duodecim Clinical Decision Support system brings evidence into practice by means of context-sensitive guidance at the point of care.
Duodecim Clinical Decision Support receives structured patient data from electronic health records (EHRs) and returns reminders, therapeutic suggestions and diagnosis-specific links to guidelines. It can also be used to automatically prefill forms and calculators with patient specific data. In addition to real-time use, the Duodecim Clinical Decision Support support rules can also be run in patient populations (CareGap analysis).
Integration
Duodecim Clinical Decision Support is a platform-independent service, which can be integrated into any EHR containing structured patient data. It is based on a simple but efficient technology, and both installing and updating the system is easy.
Developer
Duodecim Clinical Decision Support is developed by Duodecim Medical Publications Ltd, a Finnish company owned by the Finnish Medical Society Duodecim. Both the association and the company have a long-standing collaborative relationship with the Cochrane Collaboration, the GRADE Working Group and the Guidelines International Network (G-I-N).
