I am against over automation. There are parts of Electronic Heath Records that lend themselves to full automation, as drug checks (your example). However, other parts as clinicians narratives ( as progress notes) do not lend themselves to automation. In the quoted study automating this part produces unwanted effects.

Actually you made the case at Relevance . The other points were just window dressing. For CDS to work effectively in a busy clinical practice, one would need vary fast (expensive) processors with ability to frequently upgrade equipment. The only piece that seems useful (drug interaction check) usually becomes very slow in patients with poly-pharmacy (10-15 drugs). These are the patients that we really need to run these checks, but a lot of time elapse while a system cross-checks 15 drugs. The answer to your question, unfortunately is no . CDS can perhaps help one avoid major mistakes, if used appropriately, but that does not define a good clinician.
