Quality Improvement in the Preoperative Evaluation: Accuracy of an Automated Clinical Decision Support System to Calculate CHA₂DS₂-VASc Scores.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Clinical decision support systems are advocated to improve the quality and efficiency in healthcare. However, before implementation, validation of these systems needs to be performed. In this evaluation we tested our hypothesis that a computerized clinical decision support system can calculate the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score just as well compared to manual calculation, or even better and more efficiently than manual calculation in patients with atrial rhythm disturbances. Materials and Methods: In n = 224 patents, we calculated the total CHA₂DS₂-VASc score manually and by an automated clinical decision support system. We compared the automated clinical decision support system with manually calculation by phy
