General practitioners' user experience of the nationwide digital decision support system in primary care.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of the study is to describe the user experiences of a nationwide digital decision support system (DDSS).

Summary of background data

DDSSs have the potential to improve the quality and safety of healthcare services by supporting clinical decision-making with evidence-based recommendations. Due to a lack of knowledge, it is difficult to assess whether DDSSs are fulfilling their purpose. In Estonia, a nationwide DDSS for general practitioners (GPs) was implemented in 2020. To understand the impact of DDSS on the quality of care in the Estonian context and meet the demands of healthcare, it is necessary to gather information about the experiences of the users. This is the first study that examines the experiences of GPs on the use of DDSS nationwide.
