Facilitators, barriers, and insights using an HFA-PEFF-based clinical decision support system: A proof-of-concept study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Knowing that heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can be difficult to diagnose, a clinical decision support system (CDSS), with functional, morphological and biomarker domains, was built. Therefore, this research aimed to analyse the possibility of implementing CDSS, compliance of the physicians with the CDSS recommendations, as well as identify obstacles and facilitators to its usage.

Methods

This mixed-methods study was conducted over a 1 year period at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases of Vojvodina (Sremska Kamenica, Serbia). The retrospective component included an analysis of patients who had symptoms and/or signs of HF, with an ejection fraction (EF) of ≥50%.
