Leveraging Dual Usability Methods to Evaluate Clinical Decision Support Among Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with traumatic brain injury are at an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) may improve the use of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis protocols, yet suffer from poor compliance among end users due to a lack of user-centered design.

Objective

The objective of this work was to improve the content, design, and workflow integration of a traumatic brain injury-CDSS based on feedback from experts and end users.

Methods

The CDSS was evaluated leveraging a dual usability approach. A set of usability experts (n=3) and trauma providers (n=5) performed heuristic evaluations and usability testing by end users. Data was collected through a triangulation of methods and analyzed using qualitative (thematic)
