A provider's ability to make correct decisions regarding patient care is predicated on the correct identification of a patient's diagnoses. However, the process of developing diagnostic certainty remains a challenging task despite an increasingly sophisticated array of available diagnostic modalities and techniques. Clinicians need support to integrate a broad range of findings from these tools along with a patient's symptoms and signs. This chapter discusses the evolution and utility of computer-aided diagnostic decision support systems including recent developments in neural networks, microarray technology, and syndromic surveillance.
