There are two types of CDSS:
1. Knowledge-Based CDSS
In this type of CDSS, the knowledge base is composed of data structured as IF-THEN rules. In other words, the results produced are based on conditions. For example, in the case of systems for observing drug interactions, an alert needs to be sent to the clinician if drug A is taken along with drug B. In this case, the knowledge can be updated with the latest drug interaction data to generate appropriate alerts for corresponding interactions. The built-in logic uses data and evidence-based rules to provide results that doctors can use.
2. Non-Knowledge-Based CDSS
This CDSS does not use a knowledge base or leverage IF-THEN rules. It uses machine learning or statistical pattern recognition to analyze clinical data. It enables the system to learn from previous operations and discover patterns in the data. This type of CDSS mainly uses two types of techniques –
