Clinical decision support (CDS)

Clinical decision support (CDS) is health information technology that helps care teams make better decisions. It provides general and patient‑specific information that the system organizes and delivers at the right time in the care process.

CDS builds on electronic health records to present clear, relevant information—such as alerts, reminders, or guidelines—that supports clinical judgment and improves care quality.
