This paper discusses the concept of Psychiatric Register Integrated Support Modules (PRISM). It addresses issues around the linkage of longitudinal data held on individual patients in case register systems to expert and other decision support systems. The paper describes two developed systems which link to the SafetyNet case register system, an inexpensive and comprehensive Mental Health Information System which runs on single or networked computers and which was previously described in detail (Taylor & Bhumgara, 1989). The merits of the two approaches in aiding clinical decision making on anti-psychotic medication are discussed as are the medico-legal implications of using expert systems.

Clinical decision systems represent useful e-health tools applicable to various tasks within the clinical decision-making process. This chapter is devoted to basic principles of clinical decision support systems and their benefits for healthcare and patient safety. Big data is crucial input for clinical decision support systems and is helpful in the task to find the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. Statistical challenges of analyzing big data in psychiatry are overviewed, with a particular interest for psychiatry. Various barriers preventing telemedicine tools from expanding to the field of mental health are discussed. The development of decision support systems is claimed here to play a key role in the development of information-based medicine, particularly in psychiatry. Information technology will be ultimately able to combine various information sources including big data to present and enforce a holistic information-based approach to psychiatric care.

Clinical decision support systems are meant to improve the quality of decision-making in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is the science of creating intelligent systems that solve complex problems at the level of or better than human experts. Combining artificial intelligence methods into clinical decision support will enable the utilization of large quantities of data to produce relevant decision-making information to practitioners. This article examines various artificial intelligence methodologies and shows how they may be incorporated into clinical decision-making systems. A framework for describing artificial intelligence applications in clinical decision support systems is presented.

IntroductionThe clinical data is increasing at a considerably higher rate than the capacity of the healthcare system and clinicians to manage this data. Digital tools such as clinical decision support systems (CDSS) provide opportunities for evidence-based patient care by intelligently filtering and presenting the information required for clinical decision making at the point of care. Despite the success of pilot projects, CDSS have had limited implementation in broader health systems. We aimed to identify challenges faced by policymakers for CDSS implementation and to provide policy recommendations.MethodsWe conducted eleven semi-structured interviews with Australian policymakers from state and national committees involved in digital health activities. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify policy priorities.ResultsOur findings indicate that fragmentation of care processes and structures in the digital health ecosystem is one of the main impediments to delivering coordinated care using CDSS. Five themes for policy action were identified: (i) establishing a shared conceptual framework for user-centered design of CDSS that is aligned with stakeholders’ priorities, (ii) maintaining the right balance between the customization and standardization of systems, (iii) developing mutually agreed semantic interoperability standards at the local, state and national level, allowing generation and exchange of information across the health system without changing its context and meaning, (iv) reorienting organizational structures to build capacity to foster change, and (v) developing collaborative care models to avoid conflicting interests between stakeholders.ConclusionsFindings highlight the importance of developing system-wide guidance to establish a clear vision for CDSS implementation and alignment of organizational processes across all levels of health care. There is a need to build a shared policy framework for modelling the innovative activities such as CDSS implementation across the digital health landscape which minimizes the operational and strategic fragmentation of different organizations.

Making good decisions in extremely complex and difficult processes and situations has always been both a key task as well as a challenge in the clinic and has led to a large amount of clinical, legal and ethical routines, protocols and reflections in order to guarantee fair, participatory and up-to-date pathways for clinical decision-making. Nevertheless, the complexity of processes and physical phenomena, time as well as economic constraints and not least further endeavours as well as achievements in medicine and healthcare continuously raise the need to evaluate and to improve clinical decision-making. This article scrutinises if and how clinical decision-making processes are challenged by the rise of so-called artificial intelligence-driven decision support systems (AI-DSS). In a first step, this article analyses how the rise of AI-DSS will affect and transform the modes of interaction between different agents in the clinic. In a second step, we point out how these changing modes of interaction also imply shifts in the conditions of trustworthiness, epistemic challenges regarding transparency, the underlying normative concepts of agency and its embedding into concrete contexts of deployment and, finally, the consequences for (possible) ascriptions of responsibility. Third, we draw first conclusions for further steps regarding a ‘meaningful human control’ of clinical AI-DSS.
