CDS Coalition Pharmaceutical Use Cases

There are several types of decisions in relation to the proper use of pharmaceuticals that standalone software can support:

  1. Is the patient a candidate for the drug, and will the patient likely respond to the drug?
  2. How can I select a particular drug from an approved class of drugs with the same mechanism of action?
  3. What is the evolving post-marketing safety profile of the drug and how can I select/change therapy based on this information?
  4. How should the drug be administered, including dosage calculations?

The CDS Coalition is dedicated to clarifying the FDA oversight of all clinical decision support software, including that which is used to support decision-making around the use of pharmaceuticals. As a result, the coalition is vitally interested in how FDA regulates, if at all, CDS used for those purposes.
