Background:
Mobile applications (apps) providing clinical decision support (CDS) may show the greatest promise when created by and for frontline clinicians. Our aim was to create a generic model enabling healthcare providers to direct the development of CDS apps.
Methods:
We combined Change Management with a three-tier information technology architecture to stimulate CDS app development.
Results:
A Bridging Opportunities Work-frame model was developed. A test case was used to successfully develop an app.
Conclusion:
Healthcare providers can re-use this globally applicable model to actively create and manage regional decision support applications to translate evidence-based medicine in the use of emerging medication or novel treatment regimens.
