From point-of-care alerts and diagnostics to care pathway recommendations and predictive analytics, our CDSS platforms deliver evidence-based support exactly when and where it’s needed — without disrupting the clinician-patient interaction. Whether you’re deploying a rule-based system or leveraging AI-driven insights, 6B brings the regulatory, clinical, and technical expertise needed to deliver safe, scalable, and effective decision support tools.
Understanding Clinical Decision Support Systems
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are software applications that provide clinicians with intelligently filtered, patient-specific information to support decision-making at the point of care. These systems help reduce errors, standardise treatment, and support compliance with clinical guidelines — ultimately leading to improved safety, efficiency, and outcomes.
CDSS can take many forms, including:
- Drug interaction alerts
- Diagnostic support and differential diagnosis
- Clinical guideline prompts
- Risk scores and predictive modelling
- Care plan suggestions
- Population health and cohort analysis
- Integration with EHRs and order entry systems
Effective CDSS platforms must combine clinical validity with usability, integrating into existing systems and workflows without adding friction. They also require rigorous clinical safety assurance, explainability, and alignment with national and international standards.
At 6B, we build CDSS solutions that are smart, usable, and compliant — balancing clinical rigour with technological innovation.
Our Clinical Decision Support System Development Process
As a specialist Clinical Decision Support System Development company, 6B follows a proven, collaborative approach that blends clinical expertise, user-centred design, and agile development.
We begin by identifying the core decision points within your target workflows — whether in primary care, urgent care, diagnostics, or chronic disease management. Working closely with clinicians, analysts, and stakeholders, we map out the information needs, data sources, and outcome goals that will shape your CDSS.
Our team designs a system architecture that supports rules-based logic, AI models, or hybrid approaches, depending on your use case. We ensure integration with existing platforms such as EHRs, PAS, or ordering systems, using standards like HL7 FHIR, SNOMED CT, and open APIs.
Software is developed with robust safety and validation processes in place, aligned with DCB 0129, ISO 13485, and applicable medical device regulations. We support clinical testing, usability studies, and training to ensure the system fits seamlessly into day-to-day clinical practice.
Benefits of Clinical Decision Support Systems
Clinical Decision Support Systems offer significant benefits for clinicians, patients, and healthcare systems.
Clinicians are supported with timely, context-aware recommendations that reduce cognitive burden and improve diagnostic accuracy. By surfacing relevant data, guidelines, or next-best actions, CDSS helps standardise care and reduce unwarranted variation.
Patients benefit from safer, more consistent care — including fewer medication errors, better chronic disease management, and improved outcomes based on evidence-informed decisions.
Healthcare organisations gain improved compliance with clinical protocols, enhanced operational efficiency, and better data for audits, research, and population health initiatives. When implemented well, CDSS can also reduce costs by avoiding unnecessary investigations or interventions.
Why Choose 6B for Clinical Decision Support System Development?
6B combines hands-on software engineering with deep clinical domain knowledge. We’ve delivered decision support tools across multiple care settings — from AI-driven diagnostics and risk stratification modules to point-of-care prescribing alerts.
We understand the importance of interoperability. Our solutions integrate with NHS systems including GP Connect, NHS Spine, EHR platforms, and clinical coding standards such as SNOMED CT, DM+D, and ICD-10 — ensuring your CDSS works within the wider digital ecosystem.
Clinical safety is embedded throughout our process. Our development teams work alongside Clinical Safety Officers, and all our solutions are aligned with DCB 0129, ISO 27001, and UK medical device regulations where applicable.
We design for real-world adoption. That means engaging clinicians early, validating in live environments, and creating systems that enhance — rather than interrupt — care delivery. With 6B, you get a partner who delivers both innovation and implementation.
