Improving the Accuracy of a Clinical Decision Support System for Cervical Cancer Screening and Surveillance.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for cervical cancer prevention are generally limited to identifying patients who are overdue for their next routine/next screening, and they do not provide recommendations for follow-up of abnormal results. We previously developed a CDSS to automatically provide follow-up recommendations based on the American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) guidelines for women with both previously normal and abnormal test results leveraging information available in the electronic medical record (EMR). OBJECTIVE:Enhance the CDSS by improving its accuracy and incorporating changes to reflect the latest revision of the guidelines. METHODS:After making enhancements to the CDSS, we evaluated the performance of the clinical recommendations
