What form of data was input into the system (i.e. signs and symptoms, clinical guideline rules, etc)? 1 point.

What made this program novel compared to other programs? 1 point.

What was the level of acceptance and use and/or are there any studies showing the systems effectiveness in improving outcomes or diagnoses or at least comparing the system to a gold standard?

What were the core benefits of the decision support program? 1 point.
What were the limitations of the decision support program? 1 point.
