In this systematic review, researchers sought to evaluate the impact of clinical decision support (CDS) on the quality and safety of care provided to cancer patients. Most of the studies included in the study demonstrated improved outcomes related to the use of CDS, but the authors conclude that more rigorous research regarding the impact of CDS on clinical outcomes for oncology patients is needed.
