Abstract

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are computer-based tools that leverage the analysis of large volumes of health data to assist healthcare professionals in making clinical decisions, whether preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic. This review examines the impact of CDSS on clinical practice, highlighting both their potential benefits and their limitations and challenges. We detail the experience of clinical medical professionals in the development of a virtual control center for COVID-19 patients (C3 COVID-19) in Spain during the SARSCoV-2 pandemic. This tool enabled real-time monitoring of clinical data for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, optimizing personalized and informed medical decision-making. CDSS can offer significant advantages, such as improving the quality of inpatient care, promoting evidence-based clinical and therapeutic decision-making, facilitating treatment personalization, and enhancing healthcare system efficiency and productivity. However, the implementation of CDSS presents challenges, including the need for physicians to become familiar with the systems and software, and the necessity for ongoing updates and technical support of the systems.
