Why do the CDS grand challenges indicate a need to disseminate best practices in CDS design, development, and implementation?

Sittig et al. indicate that we need to build on initial efforts in developing more robust methods to identify, describe, evaluate, collect, catalog, synthesize and disseminate best practices for CDS design, development, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation. Specifically, we need measurement tools to help us identify the most usable, economical and effective methods of implementing these CDS-related initiatives.
