Key Points

The aim is to enhance patient identification in hospital-at-home programs using a clinical decision support system.
Developed a computerised clinical decision support system (CDSS) incorporating a human-centered design (HCD) approach.
Implemented the CDSS to ensure relevance to local healthcare settings.
Evaluated the system's effectiveness in identifying patients for hospital-in-the-home (HITH) programs.
The CDSS improved local relevance and clinical adoption for digital healthcare projects.
It demonstrated adaptability for various clinical decision support systems associated with hospitalized patients.

Abstract

The HEI CDSS illustrates the importance of an HCD approach in ensuring local relevancy and clinical adoption of digital healthcare projects. Principles from its design and implementation can improve patient identification for HITH programs and be adapted for other CDSSs relevant to hospitalised patient cohorts.
