Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1835-1836. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190672.

Abstract

Patients with olfactory disorders are often encountered with a complex workflow and unsatisfied results. This article explores an informatics application to manage olfactory disorders with clinical decision support. Evidence from PubMed was used to analyze and extract the workflow, according to the "five rights" CDS framework. Five focus points and corresponding tips were identified. This work provides disease analysis and life guidance for prediction of the occurrence of more serious diseases.

Keywords: Olfactory disorders; clinical decision support; elderly.
