Electronic transaction systems development

Decision-support systems, wherein transactions are screened according to a set of rules, add an additional layer of value to transactional systems. To be effective, such systems require that rules be invoked in real time and draw on data relevant to the transaction. For example, a drug order may be contraindicated based on allergies, or a laboratory order may be contraindicated by the results of previous tests or applicability in the context of the patient s condition as recorded in the electronic chart. The implementation of decision-support tectoology requires significant effort in the development of acceptable rules and the processing power to process them in real time.
