Advancing treat-to-target in SLE: a pilot study using a clinical decision support system.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the feasibility, usability and acceptability of implementing a treat-to-target (T2T) strategy supported by a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), in routine SLE outpatient care. A 24-week, non-randomised, multicentre, clustered pilot study was conducted across four rheumatology outpatient centres. Adult patients with SLE were allocated by centre to either a T2T strategy supported by a CDSS (T2T-CDSS) or a routine outpatient care (ROC) group. The CDSS provided evidence-based treatment recommendations based on disease activity measures. Feasibility outcomes included recruitment and retention rates. Usability was assessed with the System Usability Scale (SUS), completed by physicians in the T2T-CDSS group. Acceptability was evaluated using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionna
