Hematological diseases, particularly hematological neoplasms, are highly heterogeneous, characterized by diverse clinical manifestations and complex biological features. Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is an auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system that integrates clinical data, medical expertise, and artificial intelligence (AI), which is expected to significantly improve the standardization, accuracy, and efficiency of diagnosis and treatment for hematological diseases and thereby improve prognosis. This review aimed to systematically summarize the application status of CDSS in hematological diseases, discuss its core value, analyze the current challenges, and outline future development. CDSS has potential in standardized diagnosis and treatment, accurate diagnosis and treatment, early prevention, and efficiency improvement of hematological diseases, including hematological neoplasms and bleeding and coagulation disorders. However, it faces many challenges, such as data processing, knowledge base construction and maintenance, model performance optimization, system integration, and a lack of evaluation criteria. In the future, CDSS is expected to integrate multicenter and multimodal data to enable precise, individualized, and whole-process hematological disease management.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
