Abstract: The doctor to population ratio in Pakistan is very low (1:1436). Normally, a doctor has to go through a manually filled file of every patient for analyzing and finding anomalies. Performing efficiently in such a situation becomes a challenging task for a doctor. We believe that the use of our clinical decision support system (CDSS) in the Doctor?s PDA, using EMR, can effectively decrease the work load of a medical expert and will play an important role in improving efficiency as well as accuracy of the diagnosis.
