Addressing the "Black Hole" of Low Back Pain Care With Clinical Decision Support: User-Centered Design and Initial Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is a highly prevalent problem causing substantial personal and societal burden. Although there are specific types of LBP, each with evidence-based treatment recommendations, most patients receive a nonspecific diagnosis that does not facilitate evidence-based and individualized care.

objectives

We designed, developed, and initially tested the usability of a LBP diagnosis and treatment decision support tool based on the available evidence for use by clinicians who treat LBP, with an initial focus on chiropractic care.

Methods

Our 3-step user-centered design approach consisted of identifying clinical requirements through the analysis of evidence reviews, iteratively identifying task-based user requirements and developing a working web-base
