Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is a system designed to directly aid clinical decision making by compiling and diagnosing information obtained from the data inserted by users. The system will basically analyze the symptoms entered by the users and then compare the symptoms in the database and finally produce the possible diseases based on the symptoms' matched found in the database. This system is practically important to the pediatricians in order to assist them in justifying the diseases suffered by their patients. Because there are a lot of pediatricians' fields in Malaysia, the project's scope had been narrowed down to the pediatricians who specialize in Cardiovascular Diseases. The main objective of this project is to develop a system that able to analyze Cardiovascular Diseases suffered by patients and generate specific solution to help pediatrician in decision making. Besides that, by having this system, it is also can improve the efficiency in analyzing diseases suffered by patients. Compareto the manual system, the pediatricians might face problems in deciding the diseases suffered by their patients. However by having this system it can overcome this kind of problem and assist the pediatrician in making decision by providing solutions. In developing the system, Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology is used because it is suitable for the short period time of project and the Exsys Corvid will be the main software to build the system.
