Army Research & Referral Hospital (R & R), Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi has implemented CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System) provided by Wolters Kluwer to ramp up their patient care delivery.

The hospital has onboarded Wolters Kluwer’s flagship product, UpToDate, and a computer kiosk for it has been set up in the emergency room to assist the on-duty doctors in using UpToDate at the point of care.

This adoption will equip doctors, students, nurses, and other healthcare providers with readily available evidence-based case studies and the latest medical information from around the world to aid their medical decisions.

A clinical decision support system is an evidence-based healthcare delivery tool with a constantly updated database of case studies and peer-reviewed guidelines on various diseases and their management. 

As per a study by Harvard University, 5.2 million injuries that occur in India every year are due to medical errors and adverse events. The alarming statistic highlights the need of avoiding preventable deaths. This highlights the importance of evidence-based healthcare solutions for medical students and doctors. CDSS is intended to enhance care quality, prevent errors or adverse events, and enable healthcare providers to be more efficient in the years to come
