Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The sample sizes of many CDS system evaluation studies were too small or conducted with too short of a time period to detect changes in care outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Whether a particular stakeholder group has a financial incentive to implement CDS depends on the specific CDS under consideration and the governing healthcare payment model in place.
