Population
Patients in hospital settings – including those receiving inpatient, emergency, or ambulatory care (29 studies).
Intervention
Computerized decision support systems (CDSS) based intervention.
Comparison
Current hospital workflows.
Outcome
Studies evaluated CDSS for adverse event surveillance (5 studies), antimicrobial stewardship (4 studies), blood product management (8 studies), laboratory testing (7 studies), and medication safety (5 studies). All studies evaluated costs from a hospital perspective but varied based on the valuation of resources affected by CDSS implementation, and the measurement of consequences.
