Mixed-methods approach to understanding clinician macrocognition in the design of a clinical decision support tool: a study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The anatomic variants of congenital heart disease (CHD) are multiple. The increased survival of these patients and disposition into communities has led to an increase in their acute presentation to non-CHD experts in primary care clinics and emergency departments. Given the vulnerability and fragility of these patients in the face of acute illness, new clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are urgently needed to better translate the best practice recommendations for the care of these patients. This study aims to understand the perceived confidence and macrocognitive processes of non-CHD experts (emergency medicine physicians) and CHD experts (paediatric cardiac intensivists) when treating children with CHD during acute illness and apply this to optimise the design o
