Data-based decision making is predicted to have substantial impact on value-based care. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is increasing its emphasis on the use of clinical decision support (CDS) tools, recognizing its role in reducing both care costs and improving care quality. Clinicians who have already adopted CDS systems tend to agree they can help significantly.3 Challenges that can be overcome by utilizing diagnostic and therapeutic decision support include, e.g., the reduction of inappropriate treatment plans for oncology4, a reduction of readmissions and of patient complications due to non-adherence to guidelines.5

Supporting AI-powered decision-making will have substantial impact on the expansion of precision medicine.
