Acceptance and use of a clinical decision support system in musculoskeletal pain disorders - the SupportPrim project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We have developed a clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on methods from artificial intelligence to support physiotherapists and patients in the decision-making process of managing musculoskeletal (MSK) pain disorders in primary care. The CDSS finds the most similar successful patients from the past to give treatment recommendations for a new patient. Using previous similar patients with successful outcomes to advise treatment moves management of MSK pain patients from one-size fits all recommendations to more individually tailored treatment. This study aimed to summarise the development and explore the acceptance and use of the CDSS for MSK pain patients.

Methods

This qualitative study was carried out in the Norwegian physiotherapy primary healthcare sec
