Module 4, Question 2

Decision support is only as good as the data quality on which it based. As Hebda and Czar mention, from data, comes the formation of knowledge. It is extremely important to have high quailty data in order to have a sound knowledge. And in order to make good decisions, it is important to have sound knowledge. As clinicians, we are all relying on the quality of the data within the CDSS's to make good decisions. And our patients are relying on this as well. I look at decision support systems as a great way to help educate patients, and it's important to me to be giving them current and correct information.
