Development and Usability Testing of a Mobile App-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Delirium: Randomized Crossover Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method-Defined Delirium (3D-CAM) is an instrument specially developed for the assessment of delirium in general wards, with high reported sensitivity and specificity. However, the use of the 3D-CAM by bedside nurses in routine practice showed relatively poor usability, with multiple human errors during assessment.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a mobile app-based delirium assessment tool based on the 3D-CAM and evaluate its usability among older patients by bedside nurses.

Methods

The Delirium Assessment Tool With Decision Support Based on the 3D-CAM (3D-DST) was developed to address existing issues of the 3D-CAM and optimize the assessment process. Following a randomized crossover design, qu
