A mobile app-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) was developed to implement Korean clinical imaging guidelines (K-CIGs). Most experts surveyed agreed on the need for ongoing development to improve appropriate imaging modality use.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Korean clinical imaging guidelines (K-CIGs) were developed by the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR) between 2015 and 2017.
- Implementation of these guidelines is crucial for appropriate use of imaging modalities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a mobile app-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) for K-CIGs implementation.
- To assess future development directions for the K-CIGs CDSS.
Main Methods:
- K-CIGs were integrated into a web-based application, accessible via a mobile app.
- An email survey was distributed to guideline working group members and clinical experts to gather opinions on the CDSS.
Main Results:
- The mobile app-based CDSS contains 53 databases across 10 medical subspecialties and 119 guidelines.
- A 45% response rate was achieved, with 93.8% of respondents agreeing on the necessity of ongoing K-CIGs development and implementation.
Conclusions:
- A mobile app-based CDSS for K-CIGs has been successfully developed and described.
- This system aims to provide physicians with easy access to K-CIGs, promoting appropriate use of imaging modalities.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
