Development of a Clinical Decision Support System for Smart Algorithms in Emergency Medicine

Area of Science:

• Health Informatics
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Emergency Medicine

Background:

• Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) development is complex.
• User-centered planning is essential for effective assistive interventions.
• Emergency care demands time-critical decisions, highlighting the need for adaptable CDSS.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a user-centered approach for developing a CDSS intervention.
• To outline the process for creating the first mockup of a CDSS interface.
• To integrate Campbell's Five Rights into the CDSS workflow for enhanced utility.

Main Methods:

• Applied a user-centered design methodology within the ENSURE project.
• Focused on adapting the CDSS to user needs, including acceptance, usability, and utility.
• Developed the initial CDSS interface mockup based on defined project requirements.

Main Results:

• Successfully outlined a path towards the first CDSS interface mockup.
• Addressed key user requirements for acceptance, usability, and utility in emergency settings.
• Integrated principles of Campbell's Five Rights into the CDSS workflow design.

Conclusions:

• A user-centered approach is vital for successful CDSS development in emergency care.
• Mockup development is a critical step in realizing an effective CDSS intervention.
• Addressing user needs and established frameworks like Campbell's Five Rights enhances CDSS potential.
