General practitioners need health information technology (HIT) applications for low back pain (LBP) patients to target patients and support self-management. Involving GPs and patients in the design process is crucial for successful HIT adoption.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- General Practice
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Health Information Technology (HIT) use in general practice for low back pain (LBP) management is evolving.
- Understanding barriers and facilitators for General Practitioners (GPs) is key to effective HIT implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify barriers and facilitators for GPs using HIT in treating LBP patients.
- To inform the design of future HIT applications for LBP management.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with GPs in Denmark.
- Participatory design approach and inductive thematic analysis.
- Data analyzed using qualitative data analysis software (QDAS).
Main Results:
- GPs require HIT applications to target patients and support self-management.
- HIT content must align with initiated treatments and be easy to recommend.
- Involvement of healthcare professionals in the design process is essential.
Conclusions:
- Including patients and GPs in the design of health IT for LBP is vital.
- GPs favor HIT applications that align with recommendations, target patients, and support self-management.
- Addressing GP and patient barriers, considering literacy, and using participatory methods are key for developing online information materials.
