ANS: B, C
There has been a lot of attention and promise on diagnostic decision support systems, including trials showing how they could outperform clinician experts. However, as discussed in other sections of the chapter, systems that are misaligned with the clinician's workflow and limited financial incentives are reasons for limited use of diagnostic CDS systems. Diagnostic CDS can be comparable to human experts when used appropriately. Also, these systems have not been found to be detrimental to patient care.
