Abstract
Evidence-based medicine and health informatics may assist clinicians conten d with the current barriers to the integration of evidence-based "best prac tice" into typical healthcare settings. Computer-based decision support sys tems can improve the process of care, but whether they improve patient outc omes in a cost-effective manner is uncertain.
