User experience study to evaluate a clinical decision support system prototype supporting continuous kidney replacement therapy in a simulated ICU environment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing amount of data routinely collected on ICUs poses a challenge for clinicians which is aggravated with data-heavy therapies like Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT). We developed the CKRT Supporting Software Prototype (CKRT-SSP), a clinical decision support system for use before, during and after CKRT. The aim of this user experience (UX) study was to prospectively evaluate CKRT-SSP in terms of usability, user experience, and workload in a simulated ICU setting.

Methods

We simulated CKRT treatments in a fully equipped single patient room in the ICU and evaluated CKRT-SSP using validated questionnaires: System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). Furthermore, a modified NASA-TLX (task load index) compared the workload
