Developing SNOMED-CT for Decision Making and Data Gathering: A Software Prototype for Low Back Pain
The issue of medical errors is currently a global concern which places a heavy financial and emotional burden on communities. A clinical decision support system (CDSS) is an electronic system designed to support clinical decision making. Considering the increasing importance and use of Systematized...
