Abstract

Chapter 1 reviewed key aspects of the history of Clinical Decision Support (CDS), describing the significant progress achieved as well as calling out some of the limitations that have diminished the expected benefits of CDS despite increasingly widespread use of EHR technology. This chapter will describe emerging approaches and new technologies that show promise for addressing some of the current limitations of the field, and which hold hope for more widespread realization of the benefits of CDS.
