How Physicians Use Clinical Decision Support AI
5 core use cases where AI-powered clinical decision support tools deliver measurable value at the point of care.
Differential Diagnosis
AI-powered differential diagnosis tools help physicians generate comprehensive lists of potential diagnoses from patient presentations, reducing cognitive bias and diagnostic errors. According to a 2014 study published in BMJ Quality & Safety, diagnostic errors affect approximately 12 million US adults annually in outpatient settings.

Clinical Risk Score Calculators
Clinical risk score calculators help physicians apply standardized, validated scoring systems to stratify patient risk and guide clinical decisions. Tools that calculate scores such as CHA2DS2-VASc (stroke risk in atrial fibrillation), HEART score (acute coronary syndrome), Wells criteria (pulmonary embolism), and CURB-65 (pneumonia severity) reduce variability in clinical decision-making and ensure evidence-based thresholds are applied consistently.

Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines
Clinical guidelines from organizations such as the AHA, IDSA, ACOG, and ATS form the foundation of evidence-based practice. With an estimated 3,000 or more new biomedical articles published each day, keeping up with the latest evidence is a significant challenge for practicing physicians.
