Objective: To summarize significant research contributions published in 2022 in the field of clinical decision support (CDS) systems and select the best papers for the Decision Support section of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook 2023.

Methods: A renewed search query for identifying CDS scholarship was developed using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and related keywords. The query was executed in PubMed in January 2023. The search results were reviewed in three stages by two reviewers: title-based triaging, followed by abstract screening, and then full text review. The resulting articles were sent for external review to identity best paper candidates.

Results: A total of 1,939 articles related to CDS were retrieved. Of these, 11 articles were selected as candidates for best papers. The general themes of the final three best papers are (1) reducing documentation burden through in-line guidance for clinical notes, (2) clinician engagement for continuous improvement of CDS, and (3) mitigating healthcare-related carbon emissions using scalable and accessible CDS, respectively.

Conclusion: The field of clinical decision support remains highly active and dynamic, with innovative contributions to a range of clinical domains from primary to acute care. Interoperability issues, documentation burden, clinician acceptance, and the need for effective integration into existing healthcare workflows are among the prominent challenges and areas of interest faced by CDS implementation efforts.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged as a global health crisis in 2019, resulting in widespread morbidity and mortality. A persistent challenge during the pandemic has been the accuracy of reported epidemic data, particularly in underdeveloped regions with limited access to COVID-19 test kits and healthcare infrastructure. In the post-COVID era, this issue remains crucial.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability globally. Advances in clinical care have improved survival rates, leading to a growing population living with long-term effects of TBI, which can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health. These effects often require continuous management and individualized care.

Background And Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern that uniquely impacts older Black Americans, a population also likely to have family members also diagnosed with CKD. This study aimed to (1) describe how participants viewed their decision preferences considering the experiences of family, and friends previously diagnosed with CKD, and (2) to understand how these social complexities informed their own decisions for future CKD care.

Research Design And Methods: Utilizing a phenomenologically-informed approach, this study explored participants' perceptions of how patients and their family members' experiences with CKD influenced treatment-related decision-making.
