References	Type of EDR data	Conclusion
Fricton et al., 2011 [49]	EDR data on patient conditions used for the development of specific care guidelines	The EDR-based CDSS increased the rate at which providers reviewed care guidelines and identified patients’ medical conditions
Rindal et al., 2013 [60]	EDR data on patients who reported smoking cigarettes for providing patient centered evidence-based information	The EDR-based CDSS increased the rate at which providers assessed interest and discussed specific strategies for quitting and referred the patient to a tobacco quitline
Chen et al., 2016 [50]	Structured EDR data on oral conditions of partially edentulous patients used for the design of removable partial dentures	The EDR-based CDSS facilitated the design of reasonable removable partial dentures based on similarity between instances in an ontology and patient cases
