Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Computerised clinical decision support systems (CDSS) offer potential benefits in managing chronic diseases.
  • General practice settings present unique challenges for technology adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing the adoption of a CDSS for chronic diseases in general practice.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators to CDSS implementation from a clinician's perspective.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative, longitudinal interview study was conducted in five general practices in North East England.
  • Semi-structured interviews were held with 13 practice staff, including general practitioners, nurses, and practice managers.
  • Feedback was also gathered from participants in a related randomised controlled trial.

Main Results:

  • Clinician feedback was predominantly negative, citing concerns with the timing of guideline triggers, system ease of use, and content helpfulness.
  • The CDSS was perceived as not well-integrated into existing general practice workflows.
  • Clinicians' positive experiences with 'on-demand' information sources contrasted with their views on the CDSS.

Conclusions:

  • Significant barriers impede the adoption of complex CDSS for chronic disease management by general practitioners.
  • Crucial factors include the relevance and accuracy of system messages and the system's flexibility to accommodate primary care decision-making nuances.
