Facilitators and Barriers to Interacting With Clinical Decision Support in the ICU: A Mixed-Methods Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are used in various aspects of healthcare to improve clinical decision-making, including in the ICU. However, there is growing evidence that CDSS are not used to their full potential, often resulting in alert fatigue which has been associated with patient harm. Clinicians in the ICU may be more vulnerable to desensitization of alerts than clinicians in less urgent parts of the hospital. We evaluated facilitators and barriers to appropriate CDSS interaction and provide methods to improve currently available CDSS in the ICU.

Design

Sequential explanatory mixed-methods study design, using the BEhavior and Acceptance fRamework.

Setting

International survey study.

Patient/subjects
