| Summary: | Background
To understand user needs, system requirements and organizational conditions towards successful design and adoption of Clinical Decision Support Systems for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) care built on top of computerized risk models.
Methods
The holistic and evidence-based
CEHRES Roadmap
, used to create eHealth solutions through participatory development approach, persuasive design techniques and business modelling, was adopted in the MOSAIC project to define the sequence of multidisciplinary methods organized in three phases,
user needs
,
implementation
and
evaluation
. The research was qualitative, the total number of participants was ninety, about five-seventeen involved in each round of experiment.
Results
Prediction models for the onset of T2D are built on clinical studies, while for T2D care are derived from healthcare registries. Accordingly, two set of DSSs were defined: the first,
T2D Screening
, introduces a novel routine; in the second case,
T2D Care
, DSSs can support managers at population level, and daily practitioners at individual level. In the
user needs phase
,
T2D Screening
and solution
T2D Care at population level
share similar priorities, as both deal with risk-stratification. End-users of
T2D Screening
and solution
T2D Care at individual level
prioritize easiness of use and satisfaction, while managers prefer the tools to be available every time and everywhere. In the
implementation phase
, three Use Cases were defined for
T2D Screening
, adapting the tool to different settings and granularity of information. Two Use Cases were defined around solutions
T2D Care at population
and
T2D Care at individual
, to be used in primary or secondary care. Suitable filtering options were equipped with “attractive” visual analytics to focus the attention of end-users on specific parameters and events. In the
evaluation phase
, good levels of user experience versus bad level of usability suggest that end-users of
T2D Screening
perceived the potential, but they are worried about complexity. Usability and user experience were above acceptable thresholds for
T2D Care at population
and
T2D Care at individual
.
Conclusions
By using a holistic approach, we have been able to understand user needs, behaviours and interactions and give new insights in the definition of effective Decision Support Systems to deal with the complexity of T2D care. |
