A '''[[clinical decision support system]]''' ('''CDSS''') is a "computer [system] designed to impact clinician decision making about individual patients at the point in time these decisions are made." As such, it can be viewed as a knowledge management tool used to further clinical advice for patient care based on multiple items of patient data. In the early days, CDSSs were conceived of as being used to literally make decisions for the clinician. The clinician would input the information and wait for the CDSS to output the "right" choice, and the clinician would simply act on that output. However, the modern methodology involves the clinician interacting with the CDSS at the point of care, utilizing both their own knowledge and the CDSS to produce the best diagnosis from the test data. Typically, a CDSS suggests avenues for the physician to explore, and the physician is expected to use their own knowledge and judgement to narrow down possibilities.

CDSSs can be roughly divided into two types: those with knowledge bases and those without. The knowledge-based approach typically covers the diagnosis of many different diseases, while the non-knowledge-based approach often focuses on a narrow list of symptoms, such as symptoms for a single disease.

"Sigma metrics as a valuable tool for effective analytical performance and quality control planning in the clinical laboratory: A retrospective study"

For the release of precise and accurate reports of routine tests, its necessary to follow a proper quality management system (QMS) in the clinical laboratory. As one of the most popular QMS tools for process improvement, Six Sigma techniques and tools have been accepted widely in the laboratory testing process. Six Sigma gives an objective assessment of analytical methods and instrumentation, measuring the outcome of a process on a scale of 0 to 6. Poor outcomes are measured in terms of defects per million opportunities (DPMO). To do the performance assessment of each clinical laboratory analyte by Six Sigma analysis and to plan and chart out a better, customized quality control (QC) plan for each analyte, according to its own sigma value ...
