Nine of these statements relate to the development and implementation of automated decision support tools to improve rapidity of diagnosis by augmenting clinical decision-making for practitioners with or without IEI experience. Strengths and limitations of such tools as well as considerations for development and implementation are discussed. Two consensus statements were generated to support the development of successful multidisciplinary care teams to facilitate optimal evaluation of patients identified to be at risk of IEI.
