Clinical Decision Support Systems : A discussion on different methodologies used in Health Care

our world and computers have become vital component of our life. It made it easy for us to analyze and diagnose the medical problems and diseases. The use of Artificial Intelligence in medicine and medical sciences are on high demand. This paper focuses on the characteristics of Clinical Decision Support System and the methodologies used for their implementation. It discusses how they are helpful in diagnosis of diseases and pain. The purpose of this case study is to study the aspects of Clinical Decision Support Systems and to figure out the most optimal methodology that can be used in Clinical Decision Support Systems to provide the best solutions and diagnosis to medical problems. The case study includes the reading and understanding of the previous research works and to find out better methodologies. The paper concludes that every methodology has some good aspects as well as some dark aspects. The selection of a particular methodology depends upon various parameters of problem domain. Certain methodologies are more effective in one domain while other may be even more effective in other domains. But in a wider aspect, the hybrid methodologies appeared to be more efficient and effective.
