Are physicians ready for precision antibiotic prescribing? A qualitative analysis of the acceptance of artificial intelligence-enabled clinical decision support systems in India and Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) can augment antibiotic decision-making capabilities, but physicians' hesitancy in adopting them may undermine their utility.

Our semi-structured in-depth interview guides were anchored on Venkatesh's UTAUT model. We used clinical vignettes to illustrate the application of AI in clinical decision support for antibiotic prescri
