An application software program intended to facilitate clinical management decisions by receiving patient data from electronic health records and/or manually-entered information (e.g., demographics, diagnostic/laboratory results) and returning clinical care information (e.g., reports, referral pathways, pedigree diagrams, reminders, post-therapy prognosis/risk score, anaesthesia/pharmaceutical dosage, guidelines links) to a healthcare professional responsible for patient care; it is not primarily intended to analyse or manage diagnostic/patient images. It may also be referred to as clinical decision support (CDS) software, and may be a locally-installed program, web-based, or mobile app.
