Table 4. The effect of CDSS on medication management .

References	CDSS focus ( study objective)	Effect measures	Main findings
(1)	Evaluating the effects of computerized systems (reminders or feedback) to support medication management of patient safety and medication management	Enhanced patient safety and adherence to medication regimen, enhanced medication management, enhanced generic prescribing of medication	Computerized systems (reminders or feedback) can enhance medication management. Factors that affect implementation should also be considered
(20)	Exploring the effects of different intervention such as medication management in ambulatory care on patient safety	In general, no risk to patient safety was found	There is no evidence to suggest that, implementation of electronic medication management systems in ambulatory settings can potentially cause risks or harms to patients
(86)	Exploring the effect of medication management information technology (MMIT) on all medicine management phases	Enhanced prescribing behavior, adherence to medication advice, and reduced costs	MMIT enhanced medication management. The care quality was improved by approximately half of the MMIT interventions; however, little research has evaluated clinical outcomes
(87)	Exploring the effects of multifaceted interventions in the improvement of depression outcomes in primary care	Promote more active medication management	Factors, including qualified care managers, patient support system, patient education, continuous monitoring, and decision support system is important in medication management
(88)	Exploring the effects of health information technology on all stages of the medication management process (drug prescribing, ordering, communication, dispensing, administration, and monitoring as well as education and reconciliation).	Moderate to significant improvement in care with the implementation of MMIT	Studies that have been investigating the cost-effectiveness and clinical outcomes of the MMIT system had ambiguous results. However, some qualitative studies have found different perceptions of MMIT effects and outcomes.
