Table 4. Error analysis and categorization.

Error type	Specific error	No. of errors	Ability to address	Solution
Data source errors	Errors in coded problem list	3	No	Feed back to the data sources
Modeling errors	Clinical decision not clearly captured in the decision logic	6	Yes	Altering the implementation based on expert feedback
	Lack of adherence to ASCCP guidelines in past clinical practice	5	No	Such errors will gradually be eliminated once clinical practice strictly adheres to ASCCP guideline
Programming errors	Determination of correct end points	6	Yes (partially solvable)	While programming, errors of simple kind can be permanently eliminated, certain error of correct next follow-up time may not be possible
Evaluation errors	Clinician arriving at a wrong decision	4	Yes	Adoption of such CDSS described in this article has the potential to eliminate such manual errors
