Ovaj rad predstavlja i objašnjava ulogu sustava za potporu odlučivanju s posebnim fokusom na programske sustave koji se koriste u današnje vrijeme. Cilj je detaljno opisati strukturu, karakteristike i primjenu programskih sustava za potporu odlučivanja u medicini i navesti neke od sustava koji se koriste. Kao uvod, objašnjen je općeniti koncept sustava za podršku odlučivanju, njihova povijest i najznačajnije primjene. Zatim je razraĎena tema tih sustava konkretno u području medicine, njihova raspodjela, karakteristike i poteškoće s kojima se susreću. Na kraju su opisana su tri prava, veća sustava koji se koriste i jedan manji sustav, to jest, mobilna aplikacija. Kao rezultat, dobiven je uvid u rad sustava koji nas svakodnevno okruţuju, njihov utjecaj za poboljšanje ţivota u svim aspektima i napredak od začetka i prvih inačica do današnjih velikih i kompleksnih sustava.

This paper presents and explains the role of decision support systems with a special focus on software systems used today. The goal is to describe the structure, characteristics and application of software-based decision support systems in medicine in detail and to list some of the systems that are used. As the introduction, the general concept of the decision support systems is described, their history is explained and the most important applications are listed. Then the subject of these systems, specifically in the field of medicine, was elaborated, their assignment, characteristics and difficulties they encounter are also listed and explained. In the end three real, large systems that are used and one smaller system, that is, a mobile application, are described. As a result, the insight into the workings of systems that are part of our daily environment is given, their impact on improving life in all aspects and progress they made from the beginning and the first versions to today’s large and complex systems.
