    AbstractClinical decision support can be used to capture the medical exceptions that justify deviations from guideline-based care.

Our early experience performing peer review on medical exceptions recorded through computerized point-of-care alerts shows that most medical exceptions were legitimate. Twelve percent of exceptions were inappropriate and 10% involved areas of considerable medical uncertainty.
