Usability of Clinical Decision Support for Adult Sepsis Detection

This review summarized current literature investigating the usability of computerized clinical decision support (CCDS) systems for the early detection of sepsis in adult inpatients. Ten databases were systematically searched, identifying nine studies. Overall, the lack of good usability testing and the critical need for setting-specific testing were highlighted, as each different CCDS and unique hospital environment brings a diverse range of usability concerns that must be managed for CCDS systems to effectively improve patient care.
