Summary

Clinical decision support has been shown to improve the performance of screening tests; however, few studies have documented direct clinical benefit resulting from the increased screening promoted by clinical decision support systems.

The purpose of this study was to determine if a standards-based, sophisticated decision support system could not only promote additional breast cancer screening, but also detect significantly more breast cancer
