A large international organiza-tion once proposed to establish anindependent laboratory-much like Underwriters Laboratory in theUnited States-that would test CDSsystems from all vendors and researchlaboratories, certifying the effective-ness and accuracy of those systemsbefore they might be put into clinicaluse. What are the possible dimensionsalong which such a laboratory mightevaluate decision-support systems?What kinds of problems might such alaboratory encounter in attempting toinstitute such a certification process?In the absence of such a credential-ing system for CDS systems, how canhealth- care workers feel confident inusing a clinical decision aid?
