Abstract:
Emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence offer the opportunity to discover new clinical knowledge through secondary exploration of existing patient medical records. This new knowledge may in turn offer a foundation to build new types of clinical decision support (CDS) that provide patient-specific insights and guidance across a wide range of clinical questions and settings. This article will provide an overview of these emerging approaches to CDS, discussing both existing technologies as well as challenges that health systems and informaticists will need to address to allow these emerging approaches to reach their full potential.
