Clinical decision support (CDS) systems are intended to support diagnosis and therapeutic processes of care. This position paper defines adaptive CDS as “systems that can learn and change performance over time, incorporate new clinical evidence, data types, data sources, and methods for interpreting data.” Recommendations for the effective management and monitoring of adaptive CDS are outlined.
