Protocol-supported care, using computerized decision support, can avoid becoming rote. This approach offers advantages for healthcare delivery and can enhance clinical care and research for critically ill patients.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Decision Support

Background:

  • Clinicians express concern that protocol-supported care may become overly rigid.
  • There is a need to ensure protocols adapt to individual patient needs in critical care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address concerns about "cookbook" care in critical illness.
  • To discuss the benefits of computerized bedside protocols.
  • To explore the impact of decision-support systems on clinical care and research.

Main Methods:

  • The article reviews the concept of protocol-supported care.
  • It examines the integration of decision-support tools at the bedside.
  • Discussion focuses on potential advantages and anticipated contributions.
