Totally seven individuals participate in the study that 4 out of 7 were ICU attending and 3 out of 7 were Residents in ICUs setting. System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to assess the usability of the clinical decision support system (venous thromboembolism prophylaxis recommendation system) integrated into the medication order entry system in the ICU setting. This study has shown that the mean System Usability Scale (SUS) score was 74.64. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that the usability quality of the venous thromboembolism prophylaxis recommendations system is good. Further research requires to evaluate the usability of the venous thromboembolism prophylaxis recommendation system by quantitative and qualitative methods in large scale.
