BackgroundThe objective of this study was to carry out a bibliographic study on the return on investment concerning the implementation of a computerized clinical decision support in a hospital information system. MethodsA bibliographic search was carried out using the PubMed and Google Scholar bibliographic databases. The articles obtained were selected by combining the elements: outlook, net benefits, comparability, types of costs, discount rate, sensitivity analyzes, and measurement of effectiveness. This enabled us to review 498 articles published during our study period, of which 56 were selected. ResultsThe most commonly available tools are return on investment estimation methods. The data in the literature on the return on investment concerning the implementation of clinical decision support, although documented, are quite mixed. ConclusionEvaluations such as the econometric approach can be considered to determine if these investments are justified.
