Table 7. The effect of CDSS on Medication safety .

References	CDSS focus (study objective)	Effect measures	Main findings
(28)	Evaluating the effect of IT intervention in the improvement of drug safety in primary care.	CDS reduced the rate of inappropriate prescriptions	In general, IT interventions are believed to decrease medication errors. However, IT interventions are not without safety hazards.
(29)	The effect of CDSS on drug safety.	Decrease in medicine error (dose /prescription). enhancement in medicine dosing, care process, and outcomes related to medicine/drug	CDSS decreased medicine error and enhanced the care process; however, it did not improve outcomes significantly. CDSS, reminders, or medicine alerts may enhance courses of care outcomes; CDSS associated with medicine dosing has the potential to improve patient outcomes.
(30)	Improving drug safety by using CPOE and CDSSs.	Reduced medication error rates.	CDSSs and CPOE may dramatically decrease medicine error and provide further vital benefits associated with the use of medicine.
(100)	Exploring different interventions to prevent drug safety in hospitals.	Improvement in safety, medication administration, and reduction of drug errors.	Evidence suggests the effectiveness of interventions in reducing medicine errors and negative drug measures. However, the results of a number of studies contradict this.
