Obstetrics and gynecology is unique among medical specialties in that nearly every clinical decision involves considering two patients simultaneously. Medication safety in pregnancy is the defining CDS challenge: the FDA's former A/B/C/D/X pregnancy category system has been replaced by the more nuanced PLLR (Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule), but clinicians still need rapid answers to the question 'Can this patient take this drug while pregnant?' CDS tools that rank highest in OB/GYN handle this dual-patient complexity natively. We weight teratogenicity data, obstetric emergency protocols, and prenatal screening algorithm support more heavily than general breadth.
