This article was to conduct an assessment on community based physicians and their views on clinical decision support and the desired capabilities that could assist physicians in the future in community based practices by Joshua E Richardson and Joan S. Ash.[1]
Objective
The authors wanted to conduct an assessment with community based physicians on their views of clinical decision support and expectations. The authors wanted this information and felt it could be useful in the development and design of future clinical decision support.
Methods
The authors conducted interviews and clinic observations in urban and rural community-based clinics over a 2 month period in 2010The physicians were familiar with how CDS worked and were asked to explain their understanding of what is clinical decision support and what is not clinical decision support. They had 2 research questions (1) How do community-based physicians conceptualize CDS? (2) What do community-based physicians need from CDS?[1]
Results
The authors conducted interviews and observations in 15 community-based clinics over a 2 month period in 2010. The physicians that participated were familiar with CDS functions and adept at describing their understanding of what is and what is not CDS.
Discussion
Physicians identified different aspects that needed more work such as medication administration and treatment and cognitive decision-making that would enhance relationships and interactions with the patient and staff.
Conclusion
Physicians expressed a need for clinical decision support. To fully meet this the clinical decision support tool must fully integrate the functions that align time and resources to assist the physician in a wide range of decisions.[1]
