RoseRAG-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Precision Medication Safety
Abstract: Medication-related errors remain a major challenge in healthcare, contributing to adverse drug events, increased hospitalization rates, and substantial healthcare costs. Conventional Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) primarily rely on rule-based mechanisms for identifying drug-related problems (DRPs), including drug–drug interactions, contraindications, dosing errors, therapeutic duplication, and medication omissions. Although effective in structured environments, these systems frequently generate excessive context-insensitive alerts, leading to alert fatigue and reduced clinical acceptance. Recent developments in …
