Abstract

The application of Decision Support Systems (DSS) has become increasingly significant in the healthcare industry, as it offers a comprehensive platform for healthcare management. This paper delves into the various aspects of DSS implementation in healthcare settings, exploring how these systems enhance decision-making processes, improve patient outcomes, and optimize operational efficiency. The discussion covers the development, integration, and utilization of DSS in healthcare, highlighting the role of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and user-centered design principles. Furthermore, the paper examines the challenges and opportunities associated with DSS adoption in healthcare, emphasizing the need for robust validation, customization, and continuous improvement. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the paper concludes that DSS can serve as a powerful tool for healthcare professionals, enabling them to make informed decisions that ultimately lead to better patient care and resource allocation.
