The use of computerized decision support systems (DSS) in nursing practice is increasing. However, research about who uses DSS, where are they implemented, and how they are linked with standards of nursing is limited. This paper presents evidence on users and settings of DSS implementation, along with specific nursing standards of practice that are facilitated by such DSS. We searched six bibliographic databases using relevant terms and identified 28 studies, each evaluating a unique DSS. Of these, 24 were used by registered nurses and 19 were implemented in short-term care units. Most of the DSS were found to facilitate nursing standards of assessment and intervention, however, outcome identification and evaluation were the least included standards. These findings not only highlight gaps in systems but also offer opportunities for further research development in this area.
